The study also showed that in both groups several farms were operating under increasing returns to scale, which means that these farms could increase their efficiency by expanding their farms. 7% based on the specialized sub-sample, implying that the gains from increasing farm size are small. 4. The Strategy Study In the strategy study (Hansson 2007c) the aim was to study the impact of factors that work as driving or restraining forces on the farm strategy, and therefore on farm efficiency.
