This paper uses a rich set of geo-coded administrative and remotely sensed data on more than 1 million agricultural land transactions in Ukraine to explore how informality, size, and recent land reforms affect land prices. Three main findings are highlighted. First, absence of registered rights...

We apply the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach to surveying empirical studies on urban land value. We show that research attention is directed by market size and data availability towards developed economies and residential land. Two distinct patterns of literature evolution emerge,...

The problem of land inequality has attracted renewed interest in the development literature due to its potential effects on the welfare of smallholder farmers. Poverty reduction is an important sustainable development goal and a clearer understanding of the factors that could lead to poverty is...

Land subsidence which is primarily driven by water management practices and enhanced by increasing droughts is a growing global concern that affects the environment, infrastructure, and housing. In the Netherlands, subsidence damages houses and their foundations, resulting in high costs of...

In this study, we investigate how geographic proximity to industrial services provided by cities across the urban hierarchy contributes to differences in land prices of nearby towns. We construct three urban hierarchy tiers for cities in China based on their administrative levels. Using over...

While the relationship among land price, transportation cost, and urban sprawl under the condition of local governments monopolizing land supply has been rarely discussed in the literature, this paper addresses this gap by hypothesizing based on the monocentric city model. The hypothesis...

A noticeable data gap in the evaluation of any property market is that of a residential land price series. Land costs are one of the most significant components of housing construction, however many markets do not have accurate information on such prices. The Irish housing market, more than most...

Much of the land economics literature has largely ignored the spatial nature of competition and related differences between farmland rental and sales markets. In this note we propose a model for price formation in both markets under a spatial competition framework. We demonstrate that price...

This paper investigates the land value creation potential from flood mitigation investments in a theoretical and applied setting, using the urban area of Buenos Aires as a case study. It contributes to the literature on the wider economic benefits of government interventions and the dividends of...

The issue of land inequality has garnered renewed interest in development literature due to its potential impact on the welfare of smallholder farmers. Poverty reduction is a crucial sustainable development goal, and a clearer understanding of the factors contributing to poverty is essential for...

The housing wealth-to-income ratio has been increasing in most developed economies since the 1950s. We provide a novel theory to explain this long-term pattern. We show analytically that house prices grow in the steady state if i) the housing sector is more land-intensive than the non-housing...

Photovoltaic or solar energy is globally promoted as a major source of renewable energy. Although previous studies have discussed the use of price incentives to regulate the use of solar panels, not much is known about the role of land zoning policies. The development of solar panels is highly...

Verdichtung und effizientere Nutzung des Bodens sind euro-paweit wichtige planerische Herausforderungen, um Nachhaltigkeitszielen gerecht zu werden. Die Grundsteuer beeinflusstdie Nutzung des Bodens. Sie kann die effiziente Flächennutzung fördern oder hemmen. In der internationalen...

This paper assesses the static and dynamic neutrality of Land Value Capture (LVC) in the Colombian urban system 2003–2018, using spatially and non-spatially controlled panel models. LVC analyses are usually performed at the city or metropolitan area level, we contribute by performing the...

Aggregate land value is useful for a variety of research purposes including measuring the social surplus generated by cities and evaluating urban development policies. Nevertheless, only one previous study, Albouy et al. (2018), has attempted to measure cross-sectionally comparable aggregate...

We examine the effect of a large-scale administrative reorganization in China, where counties are annexed into cities to accommodate urban growth. We present a simple model to illustrate how this annexation may affect firm entry decisions and in turn land market outcomes. Using nationwide data...

This paper considers growth and fluctuations in a standard Overlapping Generations (OLG) model with rational expectations, with land (a non-produced asset), credit frictions, and endogenous growth. Under plausible conditions, there can be multiple momentary equilibria, with the multiplicity...

For a complete cost-benefit analysis of durable infrastructures, it is important to understand how the value of non-market goods such as transit time and environmental quality changes as incomes rise in the long-run. We use difference-in-differences and spatial differencing to estimate the land...

This study estimates the effect of land use regulation on land price by exploiting the feature of building height limits of the aviation law in Fukuoka, Japan. The law limits the building height within 4000 meters of an airport to 54.1 m, but when the distance exceeds 4000 meters, the limits are...
