Farmers’ preferences over conservation contract flexibility and duration: an estimation of the effect of transaction costs using choice experiment

Résumé

In this article, we analyze farmers’ preferences for variations in three conservation contract attributes, namely flexibility, duration and bureaucratic tasks. Assuming farmers’ preferences to be directly related to their profit variation, we present the different trade-offs associated to each attribute independently. We then show how the choice experiment methodology allows (i) to provide new empirical tests exempt from some endogeneity issues, (ii) to elicit the role of transaction costs on farmers’ preferences, and (iii) to estimate and disentangle the effect of transaction costs on farmers’ preferences. The empirical analysis is based on an experiment among 171 French farmers in 2005. Results highlight the role of transaction costs in farmers’ preferences, among them, the effect of maladaptation costs is predominant.
