This paper seeks to increase our understanding of how land is exchanged between suppliers and demanders. Most current land-price theories, and the land-use models which are derived from them, assume that co-ordination between suppliers and demanders is achieved through the price mechanism. There...

Current interest in land-price theory is dominated by attempts to explain the structure of land prices and land uses in urban areas. Those theories, however, do not enable certain important political issues to be elucidated, in particular the relationship between produce price and land price. A...

In the housing development process, negotiations take place between public and private parties about who is going to finance projects that should improve residential quality. In this paper, an analytical framework is developed for understanding these negotiations in different forms which the...

Most attempts to explain land prices assume free competition between suppliers and demanders of land. If there are constraints on this competition (e.g. land-use planning) this is added as a modification to the theory. When, however, the supply of building land is in the hands of public...

Most studies of land policy, in the abstract and when applied to a country and to comparisons between countries, use a theoretical framework which is derived, ultimately, from Ricardo's land price theory. This is used to predict the effects and the incidence of the costs and benefits which...

The European Union has adopted in its official publications a number of ethical values which can be identified and made explicit: they are values which concern the material content of policies and values of human rights. Although the relationship between those values and practice is not always...

Theories of land markets should be intellectually sound and should be able to explain and predict market outcomes, such as price and volume of transactions, changes in these and locations of different land uses. Theories based on neo-classical economics, which largely ignore the role of...
