Entre 1959 y 2008, no se había contemplado en Cuba redistribuir tierras a gran escala a productores individuales. Desde 1990, varias políticas de redistribución del uso de la tierra se aplicaron con importantes impactos, pero las áreas involucradas no alcanzaron un tamaño significativo a nivel nacional. A partir de 2008,ocurre una innovación mayor en la política agraria, con la entrega de muchas tierras ociosas en usufructo a productores sin tierras o con poca tierra. Un cambio de esta naturaleza y magnitud amerita ser descrito y analizado.

Land Use Policy Volume 78
Peer-reviewed publicationNovember, 2018Indonesia, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Rwanda, United States of AmericaEconomists argue that land rent taxation is an ideal form of taxation as it causes no deadweight losses. Nevertheless, pure land rent taxation is rarely applied. This paper revisits the case of land taxation for developing countries. We first provide an up-to-date review on land taxation in development countries, including feasibility and implementation challenges. We then simulate land tax reforms for Rwanda, Peru, Nicaragua and Indonesia, based on household surveys.

Land Use Policy Volume 97
Peer-reviewed publicationSeptember, 2020United States of AmericaArea-based targets for afforestation are a frequent and prominent component of policy discourses on forestry, land use and climate change emissions abatement. Such targets imply an expected contribution of afforestation to the net reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, yet the nature of afforestation undertaken and its geographical distribution means that there is considerable uncertainty over the eventual emission reductions outcomes.

Land Use Policy Volume 67
Peer-reviewed publicationSeptember, 2017Norway, United States of AmericaWith international food price shocks in 2008 and 2011, food security became a political priority in many countries. In addition, some politicians have recently adopted a more nationalistic stance. Against that background, this paper critically investigates the prospects of increased food production within a national context. We use a small, high-income country, Norway, as an empirical case. In 2012, the government set a goal of increasing agricultural food production by 20% by 2030. We ask: 1) How has food production in Norway developed before and after the goal was set?

Peer-reviewed publicationMarch, 2017United Kingdom, United States of AmericaA multi-pollutant modelling framework for England and Wales is described. This includes emissions of nitrate, phosphorus and sediment to water and ammonia, methane and nitrous oxide to air, and has been used to characterise baseline (no uptake of on-farm measures) and business-as-usual (BAU) annual pollutant losses, comparing these with the loss under a range of new policies aimed at increasing the uptake of relevant source control measures to 95% across England and Wales.

Land Use Policy Volume 92
Peer-reviewed publicationMarch, 2020United States of AmericaBuilding on the current international discourse and United Nation's System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA) this study provides further empirical evidences on how failure to include natural capital resources in national accounting leads to erroneous calculation of macroeconomic estimates. The SEEA methodological framework for integrating natural capital into the System of National Accounts amplifies analytical power of computable general equilibrium (CGE) models and allows to investigate relationship between the economy and the environment.
