| Ernesto Genoni was Australia's pioneer of biodynamic and organic farming. He was the first Australian member of Rudolf Steiner's Experimental Circle of Anthroposophical Farmers and Gardeners. In the inaugural Uriel Lecture of the Anthroposophical Society of Australia, Dr John Paull reveals Ernesto's training in art at the Brera Academy of Fine Art in Milan, his enlistment in the AIF in Western Australia and WWI service as a stretcher bearer on the Somme, his conscription off the battlefields of the Western Front into the Italian Army and his imprisonment in Italy as a conscientious objector, his training with Dr Rudolf Steiner in Dornach, Switzerland, his introduction of biodynamics to Australia, his grand tour of biodynamic farms in Europe, and his... |

| While the single- output Constant Difference of Elasticities (CDE) cost function has been applied several times, its profit counterpart called “the Constant Difference of Elasticities of Transformation” (CDET) profit frontier has not yet been applied econometrically. It is an indirect, implicit, non-homothetic and non-separable frontier that may be viewed as more flexible than the commonly used CES and Cobb-Douglas specifications, while demanding less parameters to be estimated than fully flexible functional forms commonly do. We therefore introduce the CDET profit function and illustrate its potential usefulness as a parsimonious econometric model of agricultural production in Switzerland. Results indicate plausible elasticities and a satisfactory fit to... |

| Im Rahmen der Ökoqualitätsverordnung (ÖQV) erhalten Schweizer Landwirte Direktzahlungen, wenn eine definierte Mindestanzahl seltener Arten auf ihrem Grünland stehen, wofür Transaktionskosten nur etwa in der Höhe wie bei konventionellen Agrarumweltprogrammen entstehen. Dieser Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit der Effektivität dieses outputorientierten Programms. Eine Konfiguralfrequenzanalyse zeigt, dass Landwirte, die an der ÖQV teilnehmen, mit nur geringer Wahrscheinlichkeit ihre Teilnahme an Agrarumweltprogrammen reduzieren. Es wird die Schlussfolgerung gezogen, dass outputorientierte Agrarumweltprogramme ein effizientes Mittel zur Erlangung ökologischer Qualität sind. |

| The influence of farming collectives on income per annual work unit (AWU) is investigated by means of regressions for three types of farms with animal husbandry. The effects are relatively small, and turn out differently for the three farm types. Whereas the effect is negative for the dairy farms (-1200 CHF), collective farming in the case of combined dairying/arable-crop farms and combined pig/poultry farms leads to a higher income (+900 and +500 CHF, respectively). The latter two farm types are characterised by at least two important production branches, unlike the dairy farms, which have just one. The result for the dairy farms, however, does not call the farming collective into question as a growth opportunity. The usual scale effects that can be... |

| This paper discusses regulation of rural land-use and compensation, both of which appear to have become more common but also more disputed. The implications of contemporary theories in relation to this matter are examined. Coverage includes the applicability of new welfare economics, the relevance of the neoclassical theory of politics, and the implications of contemporary theories of social conflict resolution and communication. Examining case studies of Swiss and Australian regulation of the use of rural properties and the ensuing conflicts, it is found that many decisions reflect a mixture of these elements. Rarely, if ever, are social decisions in this area made solely on the basis of welfare economics, for instance social cost-benefit analysis. Only... |

| At present there are 1425 tariff rate quotas (TRQs) notified by member countries to the World Trade Organization. TRQs were provided for in the Uruguay Round as a trade policy instrument to guarantee minimum market access for politically sensitive agricultural imports, and in some cases to continue managed trade regimes. This article evaluates the developmental relevance of TRQs and discusses how the various methods TRQ administration methods influence market access in Switzerland for agricultural products from developing countries. The findings show that existing TRQ management in Switzerland is complicated and lacks transparency. Further, the manner in which TRQs are administered results in high transaction costs, a situation that fails to liberate trade... |

| Economic theory suggests several possible mechanisms through which direct government farm payments might influence the efficiency and structural change in agriculture. This study estimates identify the main determinants of efficiency, particularly, what effect farm payments have had on efficiency and farm structure by using a farm-level Tobit model for 1990 to 2001. The results suggest that the inclusion of direct payments does not cause a change in returns to scale of the underlying technology. Nevertheless, results find evidence of effects of direct payments on efficiency. Farms that received greater direct payments were less efficient on aggregate than other farms. |
