The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Colorado Plateau CESU is offering this grant to fund research focused on developing a comprehensive model for predicting land use change. This grant is specifically for estimating the static and temporal probability of converting vacant or agricultural land into developed areas. The research will employ econometric techniques, including qualitative response regression for initial probability and Markov Chains for dynamic conditional probability. The model will also consider the impact of urban development boundaries, repeat sales, and various amenities on land conversion. The ultimate goal is to provide local decision-makers with an invaluable tool to analyze and forecast land development decisions, benefiting public planning efforts.

| Description: | The objective of this research project is To estimate the probability of converting vacant / agricultural land to a higher (developed) land use and develop equations for model use. To apply econometric techniques in the form of a qualitative response regression to estimate the static probability of land use change and to couple this initial probability of land use change with a dynamic conditional probability approach such as Markov Chains (e.g., time of first passage to a developed state) to estimate the temporal change in the probability of land use change. To incorporate the impact of an expansion of the urban development boundary, repeat sales, and other amenities on the probability of land conversion. This will benefit the public by giving local decision makers a model for viewing land development decisions. |
