Routledge The Economics of Land Use (The International Library of Environmental Economics and Policy)

Product Description 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. Review '...a comprehensive collection of some of the most profound conceptual and empirical articles on the economics of land. As if this were not good enough, the authors help to situate the chapters in the broader context-helping us to see the intellectual origins of each chapter, as well as the implications of each contribution for other aspects of the domain under study. The value added by this approach is enormous-rendering an otherwise excellent undertaking even more compelling'. Professor Daniel W. Bromley, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA '.....Professors Parks and Hardie have chosen to highlight studies that not only provide a broad perspective and illustrate the best modeling tools available, but, above all, a literature that begins to plot a course for future innovation in thinking about how society can better implement land-use planning to achieve its various objectives.' Professor G. Cornelis van Kooten, University of Victoria, Canada '...the book is very useful for environmental and agricultural economists, although there are also some essays that could be of some interest for urban economists and for people interested in land use, e.g. urban and regional planners.'
