    The U.S. will soon see many farmers retire and younger farmers taking their place. These younger farmers would prefer to purchase the land rather than rent because of the advantages associated with ownership. However, these farmers need to determine how many acres they need to rent in order to support their purchased land and still provide funds for family living. The model developed here is applied to a typical farm in the Midwest. The results indicate that cash rent is a key element of the model.

    Uzbekistan

    Omnipresent control of Uzbekistan government in agriculture undermines land tenure securityamong the farmers and as result leads to low productivity and low incentives for investment into theland. In its turn low productivity in cotton farms worries the Uzbek policy makers on whethergiving more freedom to 'private' farms will adversely alter vital production of cotton. In this studywe hypothesized on opportunity of enhancing land tenure security in today's Uzbekistan withoutaltering government's demand for cotton.

    Eco-efficiency has emerged as a management response to waste issues associated with current production processes. Despite the popularity of the term in both business and government circles, limited attention has been paid to measuring and reporting eco-efficiency to government policy makers. Aggregate measures of eco-efficiency are needed, to complement existing measures and to help highlight important patterns in eco-efficiency data.This paper aims to develop aggregate measures of eco-efficiency for use by policy makers.

    Mali, Western Africa

    Lowland development efforts in West Africa have a mixed record. The paper posits that this is due to the neglect of: (1) market opportunity as driving force for lowland use; and (2) the wider context within which lowlands are used as important modifier. The paper applies a regression-based decomposition framework to analyze the factors driving and modifying lowland use in West Africa. It uses community-level data from 1014 geo-referenced lowland units around four urban centers along an agro-ecological gradient in Cote d'Ivoire and Mali.

    A hedonic pricing analysis in Berks County, Pennsylvania showed that houses located near open space had higher prices, but that the type of open space matters. At the same time, proximity to potential disamenities, including landfills, large animal production facilities, mushroom production operations, and the county's airport, was found to depress house prices.

    This is the first paper to study job creation and destruction in EU agriculture. We disaggregate employment patterns and job flows into detailed intra-sectoral labour adjustment dynamics based on farm level panel observations from 1989-2006.

    This paper explains regionally differentiated patterns of structural change based on a theoretical framework dealing with strategic interaction of farms on the land market. The main research question focuses on the causes of regionally persistent structures. An empirical Markov chain model is defined for the West German agricultural sector. Thereby it is possible to explain the probabilities of farm growth, decline or exit in terms of the current and former regional farm size structure.

    This article analyses how credit market imperfections affect the impacts of subsidies by analyzing theeffects of agricultural subsidies in the new Eastern Member States of the European Union with apartial equilibrium model which integrates credit and land market imperfections. We show that creditconstraints have important implications for the distribution of policy rents. Credit marketimperfections may induce very different effects of direct payments and lump-sum transfers.

    Auf Grundlage der garantierten Einspeisevergütungen des Erneuerbaren-Energien-Gesetzessind in den vergangenen Jahren vermehrt Biogasanlagen auf Basis landwirtschaftlichen Energiepflanzenanbauserrichtet worden. Das Ziel dieses Beitrages ist es zu prüfen, inwiefern ausder gestiegenen Biogaserzeugung Effekte auf landwirtschaftliche Pachtpreise resultieren. DieQuantifizierung dieser Effekte wird durch eine räumlich-ökonometrische ex post Analyseeinzelbetrieblicher Neupachtpreisdaten vorgenommen. Die Daten stammen aus den Agrarstrukturerhebungender Jahre 2007 und 1999.
