Abstract

This paper proposes an approach to the development an efficient land distribution mechanism for a particular land-hungry region. We separate budgetary and allocative efficiency and use general utility approach during evaluation of particular distribution mechanisms. We propose a model of potential land users, which allows quantifying the efficiency of a number of mechanisms of land distribution for land-hungry regions. Land users are represented as economic agents with bounded rationality and subjective utility functions. The model calculates allocation efficiency and budgetary efficiency as independent values and thus is more precise. It also has considerable flexibility and can be adjusted to specific agricultural technology and soil types. An analysis of the efficiency of various mechanisms for the test region showed that lottery mechanisms leads to losses of allocative efficiency compared with auction mechanisms. As for the budget revenues, the use of lottery mechanisms leads to much smaller losses of budgetary efficiency in comparison with simultaneous closed auctions of the first and second prices. But of all the mechanisms considered in the paper, the repetitive Vickrey auction leads to the smallest losses of budget efficiency in the model.

Highlights

The development of a regional system of agricultural production for post-collectivist mountainous land-hungry regions directly depends on the land reform solution [1, 2]
Currently agricultural land is de jure owned by municipalities, but during the land reform it is expected that they will be transferred to agricultural producers [2,3,4]
The proposed model of the behavior of potential land users, allows you to quantify the effectiveness of various mechanisms of land distribution

Summary

Introduction

The development of a regional system of agricultural production for post-collectivist mountainous land-hungry regions directly depends on the land reform solution [1, 2]. The basic principles for the creation of specific auctions have been developed depending on the goals of the auction organizer [18, 19], institutional methods of counteraction to collusion and corruption during auctions are being improved [20, 21]
