Dick Netzer, a leading public finance economist specializing in state and local issues and urban government, brings together in this comprehensive volume essays by top scholars connecting the property tax with land use. They explore the idea that the property tax is used as a partial substitute for land use regulation and other policies designed to affect how land is utilized. Like many economists, the contributors see some type of property taxation as the more efficient means of helping to shape land use. Some of the essays analyze a conventional property tax, while others consider radically different systems of property taxation

This report deals with our work at the CIRED (International Centre for Research on Environment and Development). We did a 6 month-internship working together on the supply side of Nexus Land-Use, a technical and economic model of global land use developed by Gitz and Ollivier (2007). The underlying very general problematic of our work is a better understanding of the interface between agriculture and environment. This report first presents a bibliographic review of the long going effects of intensive agriculture on the environment, and the future challenges that agriculture will have to face as a consequence. We quickly remind the issues related to the global political context. Then we turn to a review of different land use models, and draw a few conclusions for Nexus Land Use itself. We move further to a highlight of the difficulties inherent to the use of databases. Then we deal with methods to improve certain aspects of the supply side of Nexus, such as the representation of yields, spatialization, taking into account water use for irrigation, integrating a new model for livestock production etc. The last part is devoted to the presentation of a simplified model, developed for the European Project MATISSE, and its results.
