Abstract

L'article étudie les inefficacités dues au management et l'impact des décisions financières sur la performance des exploitations dans les pays en transition. L'efficacité technique est tout d'abord estimée, par la méthode Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) en combinaison avec une procédure de bootstrapping afin de tenir compte de la variabilité statistique. Le bootstrap homogène et la procédure proposés par Simar et Wilson (1998 et 2000) sont appliqués. Puis l'impact des décisions financières est analysé par un modèle Tobit. L'endogénéité des variables financières est prise compte, tout d'abord en testant l'exogénéité avec le test de Smith et Blundell (1986), puis en utilisant l'estimateur proposé par Amemiya (1978) dans les cas où l'exogénéité ne peut pas être acceptée. Le cas des exploitations tchèques, individuelles et collectives, spécialisées en grandes cultures et en élevage, est donné comme exemple. Les résultats de l'étude de l'impact des variables d'endettement sur l'efficacité technique ne révèlent pas de différences substantielles entre les exploitations individuelles d'un côté et collectives de l'autre. Les deux types d'exploitations semblent avoir à leur charge les coûts d'agence dus à l'asymétrie d'information.
