	ESSAYS IN LAND ECONOMICS
		Land reformers of various kinds have long contended that the adverse effects of the land tenure system prevailing in England and Wales, and also (with some important variations) in Scotland, lead directly and indirectly to a wide range of social and economic problems.
		Subsequently a land hoarding tax, aimed at penalising people who had obtained planning permission for their land but had not proceeded with the development, was proposed, but came to nothing.
		Land for residential purposes was to be disposed of either freehold, or by way of a building licence granted to the builder.

	Wendell Fitzgerald and Cathe Smeland / Land Economics: To the Heart of the Matter
		Land is distinct from capital because it is not produced by humans as is all capital.
		All the land owner does is put a fence around a piece of land and charge the rest of humanity a fee (land rent) for access to it or, if he uses the land himself, he avoids paying land rent to someone else.
		Land is useful and necessary in itself, but add to that the free gift of ever increasing community-created land value and the land is bound to be sought after and held on to by all means fair or foul.

	Table of Contents and Summary
		Land is the ultimate resource, in the sense that it is the surface of the earth on which the activities of humans and of non-human organisms are concentrated.
		Land is an important resource in two senses: in terms of its physical properties and the ecosystem functions it supplies, and in terms of its role in the spatial distribution of human activities.
		Land prices will be affected both by physical and locational aspects of land parcels, and by taxes and external benefits and costs that flow among the uses to which different parcels may be put.

	A Matter of Economics
		Supply of labour [land] for a particular purpose is thus a process of change from other kinds of employment [usages] to the better one on a rising supply vs wage [rent] curve until the particular demand for labour [land] is met.
		Economic theory having defined 'economic rent' in the abstract and generally as (to quote) 'the surplus of satisfaction over effort', an inference is that surpluses might be taxed away without discouraging productive effort.
		If economic theory and political acuity were to concentrate on the surplus that is land rent, and not only a fraction of it, its unique advantages as a source of public revenue would be exposed.

	Land Economics Vol. 66, No. 1, February 1990
		Land clearing has been more rapid in Rondonia, for example, than anywhere else in the Brazilian Amazon and more than half the deforested land in that state is divided among small agricultural holdings (Browder 1988; Mahar 1989).
		Furthermore, most colonists realize that they risk losing land not in use for crop or livestock production to other settlers if they allow their actions to be influenced by the judgment that future deforestation is more profitable than present land clearing.
		Land degradation is severe in the vicinity of spontaneously expanding agricultural frontiers in the third world because of the tenure regimes facing agricultural colonists.

	Land, economic change, and agricultural economics Agricultural and Resource Economics Review - Find Articles
		The first considers agricultural land use where agriculture is connected to the rest of the economy exclusively through input and commodity markets, and when all other parts of the economy are assumed to remain constant.
		If the role of land in economic doctrine is to be understood, one must account not only for economic change, but also the motivation of economists.
		In some passages, land will refer to a part of the earth's surface, but elsewhere the term may be used to pertain to another part of nature such as the atmosphere, or a species.

	Economics-and-Contemporary-Land-Use-Policy
		The reemergence of the economics of land use as a compelling field of inquiry reflects the many dimensions in which land contributes to social wellbeing and the many policy arenas in which land plays an important role.
		As external forces increase the demand for land conversion, communities are increasingly open to policies that encourage conservation of farm and forest lands.
		Economics and Contemporary Land-Use Policy is a timely and relevant contribution to the land-use policy debate and will prove an essential reference for policymakers at the local, state, and federal levels.

	Earth Rights Institute - Land and Land Rights: Land economics as a way out of today's economic mess
		Under this policy, anyone who wanted land whether for building purposes or for farming only have to apply to the council in charge of land allocations and he is given as much land as he can use without prejudice.
		Nigeria's land laws are also similar but here top government officials use it to allocate choice lands to themselves and their cronies while the rent from land including mineral royalties end up lining the pockets of corrupt officials.
		When the land speculator sees the irrationality of paying taxes on land he is not making productive use of, he will be forced to put it on the market for others to use, thus helping to unlock the economic activity of the unemployed and the economically disempowered.

	Dept. of Land Economics / National Chengchi University
		In 1932, the National Government founded ¡§the research class of land economics¡¨ in the Central Political School, which was the forerunner of the National Chengchi University.
		Shortly afterward, the research class was transformed into ¡§the college of land economics,¡¨ which was the first graduate Institute in the whole country.
		However, because of the Sino-Japanese war, the college was temporarily closed in 1940 and changed its title to ¡§the expertise class of land economics.¡¨ The expertise class modified its name again in 1943, and the new title of it was the department of land economics, which was the direct birthplace of the department.
