Land and Capital
• Rent (or pure economic rent) is the payment for the use
of factors of production that are fixed in supply
• Because the supply of land is inelastic, land will always
work for whatever it can earn. Thus the value of the land
derives entirely from the value of the product, and not
vice versa.
• A tax on pure economic rent will lead to no distortions or
inefficiencies.
