Description :
The paper explores how institutions may be taken into account in theories of land markets and wether that leads to better theories both of market outcomes and of market processes. New institutional economics provides the tools to investigate how the interactions between market actors are influenced by institutions. There cannot be a general theory of land markets, only theories with a limited applicability and scope. How institutions can be incorporated into theory is illustrated by analysing the Dutch market for agricultural land.
