SPS Capitalization into Land Value: Generalized Propensity Score Evidence from the EUPavel CiaianCatholic University of Leuven (KUL) - LICOS Center for Transition Economics D'Artis KancsCatholic University of Leuven (KUL) - Faculty of Economics and Business - LICOS Centre for Institutions and Economic Performance Jerzy MichalekEuropean Commission. DG JRC Joint Research Center September 1, 2011 LICOS Discussion Paper No. 293/2011 Abstract: This paper estimates the capitalization of the Single Payment Scheme (SPS) into land values. The theory suggests that the relationship between the SPS and land rents is non-linear and discontinuous, because the SPS impact on land values depends on many factors, such as policy implementation details, market imperfections and institutional regulations. In empirical analysis we employ a unique farm-level panel data set, and apply the generalized propensity score (GPS) matching approach to estimate the capitalization of the SPS. Our results suggest that around 6 percent of the total SPS get capitalized into land rents. On average in the EU, the non-farming landowners' gains from the SPS are only 3 percent. However, there is a large variation in the capitalization rate for different SPS levels, and between Member States (between 0 and 58 percent).
