Abstract

Dans la présente contribution, nous quantifions le changement de la productivité totale des facteurs (PTF) des exploitations laitières suisses de la région de montagne sur la période 1999-2008 en utilisant l’indice de productivité de Malmquist. Nous analysons par ailleurs la robustesse des résultats de cette quantification à l’effet du type de panel utilisé et de différentes options de modélisation relatives à l’inclusion des paiements directs écologiques et éthologiques dans le set des outputs. La croissance annuelle de la PTF est montrée varier entre +1,3% et +3,0% selon le type de panel et l’option de modélisation choisis. Les résultats de notre travail suggèrent que le taux de croissance de la PTF des exploitations laitières suisses en région de montagne n’est pas inférieur aux niveaux observés dans le secteur laitier d’autres pays européens. D’une façon plus générale, notre étude montre combien les résultats de mesure du changement de la PTF sont sensibles aux choix méthodologiques associés aux données utilisées et souligne ainsi la nécessité de considérer ce problème lors de la conduite de telles analyses.
