The "unusual" behavior of agricultural land prices is the subject of considerable debate and controversy and is the object of this research. There is little doubt that land prices have been increasing steadily since 1959 and dramatically throughout the decade of the 1970's. However, there is widespread disagreement among economists,...
Concern over the apparent disparity between the farm use value
and current market value of property in agricultural areas continues
to remain a source of concern in many areas. This concern has
intensified in recent years, particularly in those agricultural areas
situated near urban centers and recreational areas.
The main...
This thesis investigated the contribution of the forest to neighboring property
prices and explored the possible impacts from different neighboring forest characteristics
with the hedonic property price model.
The quadratic Box-Cox model was applied to choose the proper functional form.
The square root model was chosen to be the interpretable...

Local property-owning residents maintain high levels of interest
and awareness regarding a neighboring natural resource complex.
Factors, however, such as proximity, personal interests, use patterns
and economic considerations cause local inhabitants to have an
inaccurate perception of the natural resource complex. The nature
of local resident perception can be analyzed...
"This study examines the ways in which land-use regulations in general and Oregon's land-use planning system in particular may affect property values. The study is focused on Oregon, but it is framed within the broader context of research in economics. Our analysis of Oregon land value data finds no evidence...

Public land ownership withdraws property from the tax base of local
property tax districts. Publicly-managed lands occupy approximately 17.5
million acres of forested lands in Oregon (inclusive of federal, state, and county

Measure 37 imposes an enormous burden on government. It asks government to know the unknowable: what would the world look like if a particular land use regulation had not been enacted or enforced? And, how would land prices
in that alternative world compare to land prices in the real world?...

A plethora of land use policies are implemented at the local, state, and federal levels to influence the manner in which land is utilized. The distribution of the costs and benefits associated with implementing such land use policies always has been, and will continue to be, a source of contention....
This dissertation consists of three papers on land use economics and regulation. The
first paper reviews numerous past literatures on how land-use regulation, agricultural
subsidies, and use-value assessment method affect land values. The second paper uses a
theoretical model to analyze how imposing minimum-lot-size zoning and different
designs of minimum-lot-size...
The passage of Measure 37 in 2004 was met with a great deal of controversy as a number of voters claimed the implications of the Measure did not represent their intentions for supporting the legislation.
