This chapter analyses the impact of subsidy payments on farm productivity and efficiency. More knowledge about how farm productivity and efficiency are affected by subsidies could help policy makers introduce better targeted agricultural policies. In almost all studies, subsidies are treated as exogenous. This chapter examines how subsidy payments influence farm productivity and technical efficiency when subsidies are treated as an endogenous variable in productivity and inefficiency models. The study is based on an unbalanced panel data from Norwegian grain farms during 1991–2006. Results show that subsidies negatively affected farm productivity but had a positive influence on technical efficiency.
