AGRICULTURAL LAND USE CHOICE: A DISCRETE CHOICE APPROACH

Roger Claassen and Abebayehu Tegene

Agricultural and Resource Economics Review, 1999, vol. 28, issue 01, 11

Abstract: A discrete choice model and site-specific data are used to analyze land use choices between crop production and pasture in the Corn Belt. The results show that conversion probabilities depend on relative returns, land quality, and government policy. In general it is found that landowners are less inclined to remove land from crop production than to convert land to crop production.
