Eli Feinerman and Yoav Kislev

No 232649, Working Papers from Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Center for Agricultural Economic Research

Abstract: The paper draws on the modern theory of local public goods to develop a theory of agricultural settlement which focuses on the provision of village services. Alternative objectives of the settlement project are considered. Conditions for optimal level of services and optimum community size are derived together with rules of finance of village operations. The value of the right to settle is calculated for the cases considered.
