 Encyclopedia: Economic rent
Modern neoclassical economics has generalized the concept of rent to suggest that the owner of any kind of input can receive income for that input, in excess of what is necessary to put the factor into a particular productive use.
Economic rent is distinct from economic profit, which is the difference between what a firm pays for all the factors of production it uses, and the revenue the firm earns from selling the product produced.
In economic theory, economic rent is an analytic term employed to distinguish how much of the income earned by a factor of production was required to draw the factor into production and how much of the income was required to allocate the factor to a particular use.

 Economic Issues No. 6 -- Why Worry About Corruption?
Although the study of the causes and consequences of corruption has a long history in economics, going back 30 years to seminal contributions on what economists call rent seeking, related empirical work on quantifying the extent of corruption and putting a dollar sign on its economic effects has been limited.
Substandard economic performance by itself does not argue to pervasive corruption, nor is economic success an infallible sign of innocence of corruption.
For most of us, rent is what we pay the landlord each month or what a rental agency at an airport charges for letting us use a car for a week.

 Borneo Dissertation Bibliography display full record page
Natural resources are easy for governments to tax, as they embody high amounts of windfall profit or “economic rent.” According to resource economics, it is optimal for governments to collect as revenues nearly all of the economic rent earned by resource extractors.
The actual level at which these same governments collect economic rent from rain forest timber is generally quite small: percent in Indonesia and percent in the East Malaysian state of Sarawak.
The study argues that government agencies fail to collect timber rent at optimum levels because they are prevented from doing so by rulers who use their positions to build and maintain hidden ties to the timber industry through which they appropriate vast amounts of timber rent.

 Basic Principles of Marxian Economics
Marxian PROFIT also obviously includes what is known in economic theory as 'Economic Rent.' The distribution of these three constituent elements of Surplus-Value, of PROFIT, is not of direct concern here.
The market place, the competition of capitalists for labour and the competition of workers selling their labour-power, will [or should] determine that no more and no less than that will be paid.[Marx owed at least that to the Classical School of Economics.]
Since most of my colleagues in Economics also do not accept these principles, it is hardly surprising that Marxian economics is not taught as such in any generally available course in this university.

It is still to be read with profit by the troubled student of the Ricardian economics, while for the period in which and the circles for whom it was written it was nothing short of a boon.
Moreover, students of the Ricardian economics have received by successive publication since 1887 an amount of Ricardo's informal writing hardly less in extent than the aggregate of his formal composition.
The first began with his acquaintance with systematic economic writing and extended through the bullion controversy, and might be described as a consistent exposition of Adam Smith's original concept of value.

Land resource economics is about the study of the property rights to and generation of economic-surplus from real estate.
Economic surplus or rent is the return to a factor of production such as land that is available at less than perfectly elastic supply.
The property rights to land allow an individual to claim the economic surplus, which is a major source of wealth to individuals.

 The Fundamentals of Rent-Seeking
Once the concept of rent seeking was discovered - and defined as the outlay of resources by individuals and organizations in the pursuit of rents created by government - there followed a flourishing of research as relevant ideas began to disseminate throughout economics.
The fact that her paper was published in a major journal, together with the catchy nature of the term 'rent seeking' undoubtedly speeded up the process of dissemination of the basic idea within the economics profession.
It would appear that the concept of rent seeking was a key log in certain areas of economic research.

 Anarchist economics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anarchist economics entails theory and practice relating to economic activity within the philosophical outlines of anarchism.
Individualist anarchists are mutualist rather than socialist; they support private property but oppose usury- defining usury as profit from others' labor through rent, capital, interest, and wage-labor not paid "full" price.
Social anarchist economists vociferously reject the preliminary intellectual dispositions of marginalists towards economic enquiry including their methodological individualism, emphasis on mathematical and logical formalism, and what they regard as a hollow stance of value neutrality.

The classical differentiation of land and capital became blurred, as neoclassical theory became described in mathematical terms.
In accord with the physiocratic and geoclassical schools, foundational economics agrees that land rent is the efficient source of revenue for public goods and services.
Government, large corporations, banks, labor unions, and social organizations certainly affect the outcomes of economies, and institutionalist economics is important in the understanding of economic history and current economic life.

 Encyclopedia: Von Thuren rent
Von Thünen was a Mecklenburg (north German) landowner, who in the first volume of his treatise, The Isolated State (1826), developed the first serious treatment of spatial economics, connecting it with the theory of rent.
Von Thünen's rings proved especially useful to economic history, such as Fernand Braudel's Civilization and Capitalism, untangling the economic history of Europe and European colonialism before the Industrial Revolution blurred the patterns on the ground.
Von Thünen developed the basics of the theory of marginal productivity in a mathematically rigorous way, summarizing it in the formula R=Y(p-c)-YFm, where R=land rent; Y=yield per unit of land; c=production expenses per unit of land; p=market price per unit of commodity; F=frieght rate; m=distance to market.

 OECD Glossary of Statistical Terms - Rent - OECD
In modern economics, rent refers to the earnings of factors of production (land, labour, capital) which are fixed in supply.
Economists use the term economic rent to denote the payment to factors which are permanently in fixed supply and quasi-rent to denote payments for factors which are temporarily in fixed supply.
In the case of economic rents the supplier receives a payment in excess of the amount required to induce the supplier to supply the factor.
