Transformations From the Neolithic to the Bronze Age in Greece
Economic Theory and the Ancient Mediterranean
External Relations of Early Iron Age Crete, 1100-600 B.C
State and Economy in Ancient Egypt
Phoenician Unguent Factories in Dark Age Greece
Several cases of overseas branches of Phoenician unguent factories have been hypothesized for Dark Age Greece. Efforts to evaluate the hypotheses to date have focused on technical and artistic characteristics of artifactual remains. This paper shifts that focus to examination of social and economic prerequisites and concomitants of foreign branch plants, and implications for archaeological testing. the economic structure of the problem is charact…
A Model of Neotropical Land Use with Endogenous Malaria and Preventive Ecological Measures
Malaria is a serious problem limiting agricultural colonization in the neotropics, especially in the Brazilian Amazon. We analyze a model that links the disease with deforestation and ecological measures to control the mosquito. In the model the probability of contracting malaria increases with population density, which is a principal endogenous variable in land-use decisions. A higher incidence of malaria reduces labor productivity. Farmers maxi…
Human-Environmental Influences and Interactions in Shifting Agriculture When Farmers Form Expectations Rationally
This paper contains a study of the response of shifting agriculture to several social and environmental changes in circumstances in which farmers form in a relatively sophisticated manner their expectations of the future values of key economic variables. Farmers are 'given' a model of expectations formation in which the expected future value of variables interact in the same manner as in the current period. With this structure of expectations, th…
Endogenous environmental degradation and land conservation
Land Use and Urban Form
Location Theory of the Nonhuman Sector
The Thünen model is adapted in direct and inverse forms to analyze animal populations and their spatial structures for the cases of single point and uniform locations of food. The model emphasizes competition for territory rather than direct competition for food, with intraspecific territorial competition increasing with population density. One among a number of theoretical results is that increased availability of food increases competition cost…

Farm Location and Off--Farm Employment
Taking off-farm employment is one option a farmer has to diversify his income sources and reduce the riskiness of his income. The benefits from, and costs of, off-farm employment have distinct spatial patterns which are derived from the Thiinen model of land pricing. The benefits increase, most likely at a decreasing rate, as distance from markets increases. There are two cost components, a commuting cost which always increases with distance from…
Geographical Transmission of Economic Events
A two-region monetary economy is modeled as a five-equation system. Exogenous events in either region (changes in union wages, labor productivity, and banking policy) or at the national level (money supply changes) cause changes in price levels, wages, employment, and money stocks in both regions. The model structure permits explicit examination of transmission processes. 8 references, 1 figure, 18 tables
Income Redistribution and the Effects of Five Local Taxes in a Small Region
Income redistribution and the effects of five local taxes in a small region
Mechanisms for Geographical Transmission of Economic Fluctuations
Geographers have made considerable descriptive progress in studies of business cycles, but the ways in which economic impulses are transmitted, known as “the transmission mechanism,'’remain inadequately analyzed. After reviewing several transmission mechanisms proposed in previous studies, the paper suggests that interregional commodity trade, with limited mobility of factors of production such as labor, is an obvious candidate for transmitting e…
Location and Land Tenure
The Thünen model of agricultural land use is employed as a basis for developing the spatial implications of models of farm tenure choice. Major predictions are that cash rental should increase relative to both owner operation and sharecropping closer to markets. Data for United States counties from 1880 are used to test the predictions. The predicted spatial patterns are found and appear to derive from the hypothesized behavior
A geography of money
The Price Theory of Thünen's Theory of Rent
Economic forces in the Thünen rent diagram and the equivalence of certain Thünian and Ricardian land rent concepts are shown diagrammatically. The usual, linear rent line requires fixed production coefficients in agriculture and constant costs in transportation. The ability to substitute among land and other inputs in agriculture makes the rent line convex to the origin, as do decreasing costs in transportation. Increasing cost transportation mak…
Development Planning and Spatial Structure. Alan Gilbert
Rent in an Equilibrium Model of Land Use∗
An algebraic model of agricultural product and land markets, based on the economics of forces contained in the von Thünen rent diagram, shows the equivalence of the land rent theories of von Thünen and Ricardo. In this model, as in the generalized Richardian model, supply shifts may increase or decrease the total rent bill, and demand shifts unambiguously increase it, but rent per acre on land already cultivated must decrease as the result of sup…
