Features: Land economics is both an applied economics and a factor economics, as well as a discipline of great importance in land science (including land economics, land management, land law, and other disciplines). It also has a close relationship with real estate economics. This book covers a wide range of topics, including land economic research, the development of land economics as a discipline, and land economic issues. The key focus and major achievements of land economic research are as follows:
(1) In the study of land value, three schools of thought have emerged: the theory of land non-value, the theory of total land value, and the dual theory of land value. The breadth and depth of their exploration have greatly surpassed previous studies;
(2) Research on rent and land price involves the specific manifestations and quantification of absolute rent and differential rent. The depth of this research is unprecedented, and it is closely integrated with the theory and methods of land valuation, making it highly socially valuable;
(3) In the study of the compensated land use system, research on rent and land price theories has been applied, and flexible measures have been explored, effectively promoting the reform of the state-owned land use system;
(4) Research on land property rights and land management systems has played an important role in improving land management systems;
(5) Research on rural land economic issues has provided in-depth discussions on targeted issues such as household contract systems, large-scale agricultural land operations, agricultural land marketization, agricultural land property rights, and agricultural land protection;
(6) Research on land resource economics serves the strategic goals of sustainable development;
(7) In the development of land economics as a discipline, it has comprehensively covered fields such as the principles of land economics, urban land economics, and rural land economics. Additionally, the application of institutional economics and the principles of property rights economics in land economics has achieved remarkable results.
