The Welfare Economics of Land Use Planning

Paul Cheshire and Stephen Sheppard

No 2001-03, Department of Economics Working Papers from Department of Economics, Williams College

Abstract: This paper presents an empirical methodology for the evaluation of the benefits and costs of land use planning. The technique is applied in the context of the Town and Country Planning System of the UK, and examines the gross and net benefits of land use regulation and their distribution across income groups. The results show that the welfare and distributional impacts can be large.
