Densification and more efficient use of land are important planning challenges across Europe intended to aid the pursuit of sustainability goals. Property taxation influences land use. It can discourage or incentivize efficient land use. In the international academic debate, the land value tax...

Innovative land policy does not yield to the pressure of short-term capital exploitation. Rather, innovative land policy establishes a fair balance between the interests of landowners and the public interest. As a keystone of land policy, property - particularly if open to innovation - plays a...

Land is a highly prized property in most African states, and it is governed by a complex set of rules and ceremonies. Many African countries have diverse property ownership arrangements for their lands. The modalities of ownership arrangements range from freehold to customary or state ownership....

Studies have found that air pollution increases with land misallocation, that is, industrial land is offered at low prices and in large quantities, while commercial/residential land at high price and in a restricted manner. We posit that urban sprawl is an important intermediate mechanism by...

In this time of rapid climate change and gaping inequality, we face urgent questions about the ability of current property systems to sustain us into the future. But how does property-system change happen? Land reform is difficult to imagine, much less implement, within a physical landscape...

Using land transaction data in China, we investigate whether and how political connections penetrate through headquarter-subsidiary relationships. The results show that even though the headquarters of politically connected listed firms pay comparable land prices as other firms, their...

Land use misgovernance in the Philippines arise due to the non-institutionalization of a national level framework for land use and the lack of harmonization of sector-specific laws on land resources. But the effort to push for a National Land Use Act (NaLUA) is almost three decades old already...

This paper investigates the relationship between the three forms of social capital, i.e., social norms, social network, and trust, on the effectiveness of land use policies. Both long-term and short-term policy outcomes are considered in the proposed analytical framework. Benefiting from a...

In many poor and densely populated countries, a large fraction of land is devoted to agriculture. This makes industrialization and urbanization, both of which require land, a serious challenge. We argue that land can be re-allocated from agricultural to non-agricultural uses without any adverse...

This research report published by the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy addresses the public policy and legal issues inherent in land value capture vehicles. LVC allows government to capture the increased value accruing to properties due to government infrastructure projects, such as new subways,...

We use a dataset of the entire population of English Parliamentary enclosure acts between 1750 and 1830 to provide the first causal evidence of their impact. Exploiting a feature of the Parliamentary process that produced such legislation as a source of exogenous variation, we show that...
