Land Use Change and Competition in the South [PDF]

Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics, 2001
AbstractThe amount of land in urban and other special uses increased more than 50 percent since the 1960s in the South. Rural land converted to urban uses is directly related to increases in population in the South. Urban land-use coefficients were estimated to provide a measure of the amount of land converted to urban uses per person added to the ...
