Abstract

The agricultural sector in Finland has witnessed a rapid structural change since the Finnish EU-accession. At the same time, agricultural land prices have increased considerably. Using a hedonic pricing model, we investigated the characteristics affecting the prices of parcels sold. We analysed a dataset consisting of over a thousand additional agricultural land transactions and discovered several regional and production related characteristics affecting prices. The generalised additive modelling framework enabled estimation of a regional price level as a smooth trend surface. The model captured spatial dependency in the prices while retaining the sensible interpretation of the results.
