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...

This paper investigates price differentials between organically and conventionally farmed arable land. Organic commodities offer higher prices and environmental benefits such as improved soil constitution, where land buyers gauge these benefits against lower yields at higher risk, switching and...

Outside of Indigenous studies, sociologists tend to treat land in the United States as governed exclusively by an entrenched private-property regime: Land is a commodity and an object for individual control. This review presents land in the United States as more complicated and contingent.State...

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...

This paper explores the historical roots of land inequality in Sicily and its relationship with the Mafia presence. Using earthquake intensity as an instrumental variable to address endogeneity concerns, we find that greater land inequality in the past leads to a higher incidence of Mafia...

The marketization of agricultural land affects the average land productivity not only through improving land allocation efficiency but also through reducing land price under the perfect market. The effect of the improvement of land allocation efficiency on the average land productivity is...

In addition to environmental factors, the welfare of farming communities in most developing countries depends largely on the credibility of organizations that regulate, implement, and protect different institutional arrangements for facilitating coordination between people. This study adopts the...

Land inequality is a global and historic issue, and it also existed in modern China. It is of great economic significance to estimate the land inequality in modern China, and there were abundant related studies, but there are still some improvements in the matching of data and methods. Based on...

This paper examines how differences in climate across space influence the value of New Zealandagricultural land. We use the Ricardian approach to price the climate, using property valuationdata from 1993 to 2018. We apply the ‘spatial first differences’ method, which comparesdifferences in...

We estimate the impact of the tariffs that U.S. export crops face on farmland rental rates. The estimation of the impact of the localized measure on the rents faces two aggregation problems that lead to identification challenges: a) aggregating tariffs across trading partners to obtain...

Analytic models are developed to value farm real estate and a seller’s (buyer’s) real option to delay its sale (purchase). The model clearly shows the economic and financial fundamentals making up the capitalization rate for farmland, as well as the linkage between two asset classes: farm...

This scientific study focuses on the assessment of the legislation on land valuation, which takes place in the framework of selected administrative procedures in the Slovak Republic. The issue of land valuation is regulated in several pieces of legislation and, in terms of content, is their...

We study the capitalisation of subsidies in the European Union (EU) regions in the years 2006-2008, the first years after the introduction of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) 2003 reform that decoupled subsidies from production and attached them to land. For this purpose, we use regional...

We investigate the sources, scope, and implications of landowner market power. We show how zoning regulations generate spillovers through increased markups and derive conditions under which restricting landownership concentration reduces rents. Using newbuilding-level data from New York City, we...

Limiting subdivision of conserved farmland is often a critical component of an agricultural conservation easement project’s design. These restrictions are critical for ensuring that a protected farm remains of sufficient size and scale to continue to be viable for agricultural use. This form...

The aim of this paper is to explain the impact of the establishment of the system of landownership on the income distribution and economic growth of settler economies (Argentina, Australia, New Zealand and Uruguay) during the First Globalization. We consider a conceptual framework based on the...

President Biden proposed the American Families Plan (AFP) on April 28, 2021, to provide new social programs to millions of Americans. Specifically, the AFP proposes increasing the top marginal tax rate, taxing some capital gain at ordinary income tax rates, and subjecting more gain to the 3.8%...

Giving empirical application to spatial econometrics models is the main fall in the economic theory approach. Controlling for spatial correlation and dependence is becoming an important part in farmland valuation literature. Farmland is the most basic resources for agricultural production. Price...

This paper provides new empirical results regarding the demand and supply of title, its impact on land value, and its effects on agricultural investment on Brazilian frontiers. We use survey data from 1992 and 1993 from the state of Par with data on the characteristics of the settlers, land...
