Land (economics)
Translation- Land (economics)
Land in
economics comprises all naturally occurring resources whose supply is inherently fixed (i.e., does not respond to changes in price), such as at geographical locations (excluding infrastructural improvements and "natural capital", which can be changed by human actions),mineral deposit s, and evengeostationary orbit locations and portions of theelectromagnetic spectrum . Inclassical economics it is considered one of threefactors of production (along with capital and labor). Income derived from ownership or control of natural resources is often referred to as rent.Land was sometimes defined in classical and
neoclassical economics as the "original and indestructible powers of the soil."

This view is supported by evidence that although land can come on and off the market, market inventories of land show if anything an inverse relationship to price (i.e., negative elasticity).Land, particularly geographic locations and mineral desposits, has historically been the cause of much conflict and dispute;
land reform programmes, which are designed to redistribute possession and/or use of geographic land, are often the cause of much controversy, and conflicts over the economic rent of mineral deposits have contributed to many civil wars, particularly inAfrica .References
