Data sets providing repeated observations of land use at fine spatial scales have enabled a new generation of land-use studies. In the past decade, these analyses have put increasing emphasis on empirical research designs that provide more convincing causal estimates. I review the use of instrumental variables, matching, difference-in-differences, regression discontinuity design, and randomized controlled trials in the recent land-use economics literature, exploring how new data have made possible the use of these research designs. I show that these estimators have produced different results than were obtained with traditional approaches and have provided new insights into important land-use policy issues such as additionality and spillover effects.

经验土地利用建模的最新进展
提供在精细空间尺度上重复观察土地利用的数据集使新一代的土地利用研究成为可能。在过去的十年中,这些分析越来越重视提供更有说服力的因果估计的实证研究设计。我回顾了最近土地使用经济学文献中工具变量、匹配、差异中的差异、回归不连续性设计和随机对照试验的使用,探索新数据如何使这些研究设计的使用成为可能。我表明,这些估计量产生了与传统方法不同的结果,并为重要的土地利用政策问题(如额外性和溢出效应)提供了新的见解。
