Agricultural rent in land-use models: comparison of frequently used proxies

Abstract: This paper compares the performance of econometric land use models based on three proxies for agricultural land rent: farmers' revenues, land prices, and shadow land prices derived from a mathematical programming model. We consider different land use classes (agriculture, pasture, forest, urban, and other), different determinants (economic, physical, and demographic) of land use shares, and different spatial econometric specifications. It is found that the inclusion of spatial components significantly improves… Show more

“…Because land rent data is usually unavailable as it is in our case, it is common in the literature to approximate them using other variables [ 18 ]. Therefore, to represent the rental prices in the 1840s, we used location, accessibility, and land quality as proxies for agricultural land’s rental price.…”

“…Conversion to agriculture has resulted in increased surface runoff, soil erosion, land degradation, loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services, and adverse impacts on climate systems [ 16 , 17 ]. Other land cover changes such as establishing permanent grassland/pastures or afforestation could increase carbon storage in the soil and reduce greenhouse gases and preserve the environment [ 18 ].…”

“…(2018) provide an extensive review of theories addressing land-use extent, intensification, spillovers, and transitions, which we do not reiterate here. 8 Example explanations, however, include induced agricultural intensification and innovation (Muyanga & Jayne, 2014;Turner & Ali, 1996), forest transitions (Barbier et al, 2010;Meyfroidt & Lambin, 2011;Rudel et al, 2009), land rents and landuse zones around cities and protected areas (Brun et al, 2015;Chakir & Lungarska, 2017); urban expansion (Poelmans & Van Rompaey, 2010;Seto et al, 2011); telecoupling and land grabbing (Franco, 2012;Rulli et al, 2013); and spatial polarization and reorganization of land use (Kuemmerle et al, 2015;Stürck et al, 2018). We also considered explanations that have been under-emphasized in land system science, such as those addressing the social and political embeddedness of markets or variations in actors' decision-making (Munroe et al, 2014;Turner & Robbins, 2008).…”

“…We estimate an econometric land use share model with cross-section data. Our econometric model is based on econometric land use models estimated on aggregate data such as Lichtenberg (1989); Stavins and Jaffe (1990); Plantinga (1996); Miller and Plantinga (1999) for the U.S. case, and Chakir and Le Gallo (2013); Ay et al 2017; Chakir and Lungarska (2017) among others for the case of France.…”
