SPS Capitalization into Land Value: Generalized Propensity Score Evidence from the EU
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper estimates the capitalization of the Single Payment Scheme (SPS) into land values. The theory suggests that the relationship between the SPS and land rents is non-linear and discontinuous, because the SPS impact on land values depends on many factors, such as policy implementation details, market imperfections and institutional regulations. In empirical analysis we employ a unique farm-level panel data set, and apply the generalized propensity score (GPS) matching approach to estimate the capitalization of the SPS. Our results suggest that around 6 percent of the total SPS get capitalized into land rents. On average in the EU, the non-farming landowners' gains from the SPS are only 3 percent. However, there is a large variation in the capitalization rate for different SPS levels, and between Member States (between 0 and 58 percent).

Consequences of Traffic Accidents Transferred by Helicopter and Ground Ambulance: Propensity Score Matching
Introduction: The main task of the emergency medical system is to provide primary care and transfer the injured to a medical center. Studies have been conducted to investigate the outcome of helicopter and ground ambulance casualties, but they show different results. These different results may be due to the type of study, statistical methods, differences in pre-hospital emergency systems, an...

Background and Aim: Case-Control studies provide evidence in the area of health. Validity and accuracy of such studies depend to a large extent on the similarity (similar distributions) of the case and control groups according to confounding variables. Matching is a method for controlling or eliminating the effects of important confounders. Matching using propensity score has recently been intr...
متن کاملBenefits and costs of land reform in Zimbabwe with implications for Southern Africa
Empirical evidence from a set of land reform beneficiaries suggests that Zimbabwes land reform was successful: the internal rate of return to the land reform project is high, settlers accumulated substantial amounts of assets, and they increased their agricultural productivity substantially over time. This evidence contradicts the general notion that land reform was a failure, a notion support...
متن کاملLand Reforms and the Tragedy of the Anticommons—A Case Study from Cambodia
Most of the land reforms of recent decades have followed an approach of “formalization and capitalization” of individual land titles (de Soto 2000). However, within the privatization agenda, benefits of unimproved land (such as land rents and value capture) are reaped privately by well-organized actors, whereas the costs of valorization (e.g., infrastructure) or opportunity costs of land use ch...
متن کاملAn Evaluation of Working Land and Open Space Preservation Programs in Maryland: Are They Paying Too Much?
Farmland preservation programs compensate landowners who enroll for the value lost due to the the restrictions on development applied to their land. These restrictions in principle decrease the value of the land. Yet few studies have found strong statistical evidence that preserved parcels sell for lower prices than unpreserved parcels. We use both a hedonic and a propensity score method to fin...
