    Este estudio estima y analiza la eficiencia técnica de explotaciones porcinas de cinco países de la UE. Se utilizó el modelo de Efectos Aleatorios Verdaderos Generalizados (GTRE) para diferenciar entre eficiencia técnica persistente y transitoria. Los resultados muestran que las elasticidades son robustas a varios tipos de especificaciones. Las explotaciones españolas presentan la eficiencia técnica más alta. En Dinamarca, Alemania, Francia y Polonia, las mayores oportunidades de crecimiento se encuentran en eficiencia transitoria. La especialización productiva en los cinco países tiene un impacto positivo en la eficiencia técnica. En Dinamarca, Alemania y Francia, la eficiencia persistente se relaciona positivamente con la fracción de mano de obra asalariada.

    This study estimates and analyze the technical efficiency of pork farms from five EU countries. The Generalized True Random-effects (GTRE) model was used to differentiate between persistent and transitory technical efficiency. The results show that elasticities are robust to various specifications. Spanish farms show the highest average efficiency score. In Denmark, Germany, France, and Poland, the most significant opportunities for growth are found in transitional efficiency. The degree of productive specialization in the five countries has a positive impact in the efficiency. In Denmark, Germany, and France, persistent efficiency has a positive association with the fraction of paid labor.
