The Economics of Land Use

The study of land use is distinguished from the study of other economic goods because it is immobile, heterogenous, which implies quality differences and most importantly, it can be publicly or privately owned or a combination of both.
The Economics of Land Use brings together the most significant journal essays in key areas of contemporary agricultural, food and resource economics and land use policy. The editors provide a state-of-the-art overview of the topic and access to the economic literature that has shaped contemporary perspectives on land use analysis and policy.
