Basic Overview • FADN, the Farm Accountancy Data Network of the European Union was started in 1965. • The data comes from a sample of 80,000 farms which are representative of about half a million farms compromising 90% of the total utilized agricultural area in the European Union. • FADN looks at all types of agriculture and livestock, but the data we focus on pertains solely to growth of grapes.
Selection Process • FADN only looks at farms which are deemed commercial, which means the farms produces more than a preset amount of output. • The selection of representative sample farms is unique to every member state, but each state is required to submit a plan as to how the selection occurs which needs to be approved by FADN.
Sample Size • The sample size depends upon the number of farms growing grapes in the region. • Privacy Protection. • Small sample sizes created problems when doing regressions in Stata.
Limitations and Checks on Data • The sample farms are selected as randomly as possible. • To avoid errors in the data FADN implements quality control tests which check for coherence and homogeneity in the data.
Variables Taken into Account in the Regression • All variables are per hectare which means the value is divided by the total number of vines, including young plantations. • The Accounting Year. • Farm Net Value Added per Hectare. • Subsidies and Taxes per Hectare. • Total Output Crops and Crop Production per Hectare. • Total Inputs per Hectare.
