The land price dataset, covering the period from 2001 to 2012, is used to decompose forestland prices into a conventional forestland rent and a speculative part related to forestland conversion and alternative land use rents. Moreover, it is used to assess whether, where, and to what extent changes in conservation policy affect forestland prices over time. Quality/Lineage: Various secondary data sources were used to create this database. The main variable, forestland prices, is obtained from the survey implemented by Informa Economics FNP. Other variables are obtained from Brazilian public and private institutions. All data is processed in R and Rstudio.This dataset was first published on the institutional Repository "Zentrum für Entwicklungsforschung: ZEF Data Portal" with ID={e6f3cb1d-bd87-4675-97e7-001a8fbb51f4}.<br/> Variable Description see ReadMe-74.018-33.742-28.8775.2672
