Optimal Behavior of Rice Farmers in the Imperfectly Competitive Land
Lease Market in Japan
-With a Focus on Transaction Costs and Uncertain Returns on Land Lease Investment-
Ueo AIU1*, Tsuteto TACHI2
The objective of this study is to judge whether transaction costs and uncertain returns work as restrictions on the number of
land lease contracts in Japan. The main outcomes are as follows. First, the study makes it clear theoretically that the perfectly
competitive land lease market assumption adopted by the previous papers leads to the overvaluation of the number of land
lease contracts when the market competitiveness is imperfect. Second, the study proved empirically that the land lease markets
of rice farming are imperfectly competitive according to the significant estimation results of the transaction costs and the option
value coefficients.
Key words：farmland lease contract, transaction cost, uncertain return
