The Effect of Heterogeneous Buyers on Agricultural Land Prices: The Case of the Czech Land Market
Result description
The paper aims to analyse the effect of different types of buyers on farmland price formation. The buyer-specific price effect is theorised to originate in differences in buyers? bidding potential, intrinsic farmland and side valuation, as well as in non-uniform terms of trade. We specify a flexible hedonic land pricing model that allows for differences in buyers? valuation of land characteristics. Data on 579 land sale contracts from five districts of the Czech Republic from 2008-2010 are utilised in the study. The results provide strong evidence of buyer-specific valuation of land productive and intrinsic characteristics, as well as land market conditions. Non-agricultural buyers are observed to significantly overbid agricultural buyers on land location, rather than productive qualities. The geographic and demographic characteristics of areas in which non-agricultural land buyers invest suggest gradual future outmigration from most underdeveloped rural areas. Among agricultural buyer
