Post-Print from HAL Abstract: In France as in other industrial countries, where farmers are becoming more and more aged, generational renewal is necessary. One question that received no attention so far but is crucial for the new farm's survival, relates to the evolution of the farm's economic performance in the years preceding the farm transfer to a younger farmer. This is the first contribution on this link between pre-transfer performance and transfer, with an empirical application for French farms using the database from the Rica, the French stand of the Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) over the period 2002-2018. Results show that economic performance increased for 10 to 20% (depending on the performance indicator) of the farms that were be transferred, and decreased for the same part. The presence of the young farmer on the farm before transmission decreased the cases where performance diminished and increased the number of cases where performance improved.
