Review: This latest book in the series on environmental economics and policy is a collection of the most significant papers on the economics of land use. The book is divided into three parts. The first part is a collection of studies based on given political7#150;government institutions and full private or public ownership. This includes Ricardian rent, von Thünen rent (space) and location studies and land use. The second part comprises studies with given political7#150;government institutions that do not have complete property rights, including open-access public property, common land and regulatory taking of land. The last part studies mutable government institutions and the political economy of land use.
