Abstract
The present paper consists of two main parts.
The first one gives a picture of the more recent development of the farmland market in selected EC countries since 1985/86. Two main indicators are used to make relatively comparable the observed trends concerning:
i) land mobility,
ii) farmland values.
The second one tries to evaluate the effects of the CAP reform and the influence of national variables overtime, taking into account the following indicators:
i) mobility (on land transfers; on tenancy),
ii) income (for agricultural or forest use),
iii) farmland values (in the plain; in the hill/mountain areas).
Considerations on land market complexity and segmentation are finally included, with justification on the empirical approach adopted in the paper.
