Sažetak
The unequal distribution of vineyard land could be according to a prior naive theorizing be a source of inefficiency in grape production. The paper investigates whether, vineyard land inequality due to specific less or more egalitarian land distribution, is a source of possible inefficiency measured by grape productivity within Croatia's counties. We analyze these issues by using cross-county data on inequality in operational holdings of vineyard land from Agricultural Survey in 2003. After constructing the Gini coefficient for vineyard land holdings, and other relevant exogenous variable which cover necessary inputs condition as a average holding size per ha, labor, capital (represented by alternative variables summed by number of tractor, barrels and cisterns), among counties, an estimation of an production function, is done by OLS estimations of grape output per ha.
