NRI point data. The model tilizes modern land use theory based on the land rent theory. In addition to the returns, we ey words: land use change, property tax, discrete choice, nested logit, Louisiana.

This study uses nested logit model to analyze changes between agricultural, forestry and developed land uses in Louisiana during 1982-1997 using u incorporated into the model property tax paid per acre of land for each of the three studied land uses. We found that property tax is significantly influencing probabilities of land use change in Louisiana. K 1 School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences Building, Auburn University, AL 36849-5418.

Property Tax Policy and Land-Use Change
In this study, we analyze the effect of property taxes on changes between agricultural, forestry, Conservation Reserve Program, and developed land uses in Louisiana. We estimate a random parameters logit model of land-use conversion from the National Resources Inventory plot data. Our results indicate that land-use changes are inelastic with respect to property taxes. Simulation shows that curr...
متن کاملRequirements and challenges of imposing taxes from increasing the value and compensation of damages resulting from the implementation of urban development plans in Tehran
Introduction: The implementation of urban land-use plans has a two-way relationship with private property and property rights. While land-use planning is inextricably linked to private ownership, in practice, planners do not take the slightest responsibility for this in their plans. The study shows that this issue is one of the main reasons for the failure to provide public services and land-us...
متن کاملDeforestation , Production Intensity and Land Use Under Insecure Property Rights
We propose a framework with endogenous allocation of land between agricultural production, sustainable forest management, and unsustainable forest exploitation in the form of illegal logging to explore deforestation and agricultural and timber supplies when property rights are insecure. Uncertainty over property rights arises through risk of confiscation on sustainably-managed forest land, and ...
متن کاملIncentive-Based Land Use Policies and Water Quality in the Chesapeake Bay
The activities conducted on land surrounding the Chesapeake Bay directly affect pollution levels in the Bay, and they do so in complex and varied ways. Policy attention has been focused, for the most part, on modifying these activities within a particular land use category but not on wholesale changes in land use. For example, farmers are encouraged to use “best management practices” (BMPs) tha...
متن کاملProperty Tax Impacts on the Timing of Land Use Conversion
This study investigates how property taxes a¤ect development timing. A theoretical framework motivates an empirical model that explores how land use change decisions are made over time. A survival model using plot level data is estimated to show how di¤erent factors in‡uence the timing of development of individual parcels. The results suggest that higher taxes slow development, as expected. Wit...
