Resumen
Descripción
This study develops and uses a programming model for farm-level resource use and output supply response to estimate the effects of agricultural land tax in South Africa: A case study of Free State, a region of extremely large commercial farms that gained
their size and economic heft during the apartheid years of aggressive subsidies, favorable tax treatment, lucrative state grants and gifts, and all manner of financial assistance. The results
indicate that changes in land use and output supply are marginal. The highest effects are
observed on irrigated farming. Relevant policy responses raised by the findings are
discussed.
