The The Oxford Handbook of Land Economics explains what economists understand about land and how they study it. It brings together the latest ideas from different areas of economics, including natural resource economics, environmental economics, regional science, and urban economics. The book highlights that land is a common topic connecting these fields and shows that better research comes from sharing knowledge across different disciplines. By combining these perspectives, it helps readers gain a broader understanding of land economics and its growing importance.

The book is divided into four sections. The first looks at the main factors that influence changes in land use, such as economic growth and land markets. The second discusses how land use affects the environment and society. The third introduces modern research methods used in land economics, including spatial analysis, simulations, and experiments, while reviewing recent improvements in these approaches. The final section focuses on land-related policies, covering topics such as land conservation, preservation, and the legal and economic issues surrounding government regulation of land use, particularly in the United States.
