    The Spatial and Temporal Diffusion of Agricultural Land Prices

    The Spatial and Temporal Diffusion of Agricultural Land Prices M. Ritter; X. Yang; M. Odening Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Department of Agricultural Economics, Germany Corresponding author email: [email protected] Abstract: In the last decade, many parts of the world experienced severe increases in agricultural land prices. This price surge, however, did not take place evenly in space and time. To better understand the spatial and temporal behavior of land prices, we employ a price diffusion model that combines features of market integration models and spatial econometric models. An application of this model to farmland prices in Germany shows that prices on a county-level are cointegrated. Apart from convergence towards a long- run equilibrium, we find that price transmission also proceeds through short-term adjustments caused by neighboring regions. Acknowledegment: Financial support from the China Scholarship Council (CSC NO.201406990006) and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) through Research Unit 2569 “Agricultural Land Markets – Efficiency and Regulation” is gratefully acknowledged. The authors also thank Oberer Gutachterausschuss für Grundstückswerte in Niedersachsen (P. Ache) for providing the data used in the analysis.

    14.11.2002 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 277 E/145 (2002/C 277 E/164) WRITTEN QUESTION E-1079/02 by Erik Meijer (GUE/NGL) to the Commission (18 April 2002) Subject: Cross-border railway between Groningen and Bremen; continuing failure to resume the service because of conflicting interests 1. Can the Commission confirm that the fact that the train service between Nieuweschans in the Netherlands and Leer in Germany following replacement of the track and despite the announcements made in the German Railways ‘Kursbuch’ (line 397 or H5) and in the Dutch Railways Spoerboekje (line 520 or 12int) has still not been resumed because of an endless series of disputes about invitations to tender? First of all it was evident that the Deutsche Bahn (DB) no longer had any interest, subsequently the Land of Lower Saxony excluded the Dutch company NoordNed which operates an hourly service between Groningen and Nieuweschans and could easily have continued on to Leer, from participating. After that the price quoted by Nordwestbahn, the regional operator in Lower Saxony for seven trains a day between Groningen and Leer was considered too high. Finally, the DB were nonetheless forced to resume the service in some way because of the existing concession. 2. Can the Commission also confirm that the end result of the situation described in paragraph 1 above has not been achieved, firstly because DB wanted to subcontract the service to NoordNed but subsequently the two companies failed to agree on the financial terms, with the result that on 1 March 2002 the West Lower Saxony DB Regiobahn regional railway was to operate a short shuttle service between Leer in Germany and the Dutch border town of Nieuweschans which is to be used as the connecting station? 3.

  • Regionales Raumordnungsprogramm 2006 - Teil II –

    Regionales Raumordnungsprogramm 2006 - Teil II –

    Landkreis Leer Regionales Raumordnungsprogramm 2006 Regionales Raumordnungsprogramm – Vorwort Landkreis Leer Vorwort Das Regionale Raumordnungsprogramm (RROP) soll "den Raum Landkreis Leer ordnen" und legt neben dem Landesraumordnungsprogramm Ziele und Grundsätze fest. Die unter- schiedlichen Nutzungsansprüche an die Fläche sollen so möglichst aufeinander abgestimmt werden. Das Niedersächsische Raumordnungsgesetz schreibt dazu vor, dass die Planungen die nachhaltige Entwicklung des Landes und seiner Teile unter Beachtung der naturräumlichen und sonstigen Gegebenheiten in einer Weise fördern sollen, die der Gesamtheit und dem Einzelnen am besten dient. Dabei müssen die „Anforderungen zur Sicherung, des Schutzes, der Pflege und der Entwicklung der natürlichen Lebensgrundlagen sowie der sozialen, kultu- rellen und wirtschaftlichen Erfordernisse“ berücksichtigt werden. Damit das Raumordnungsprogramm für den Landkreis Leer dieses Ziel erreichen konnte, waren umfangreiche Vorarbeiten sowie ungezählte Abstimmungsgespräche und Beratungen, vor allem mit den Städten und Gemeinden sowie mit der Landwirtschaft, notwendig. Kreis- verwaltung und Kreistag war es während des gesamten Entstehungsprozesses des RROP ein besonderes Anliegen, mit den besonders Betroffenen schon im Vorfeld eine möglichst breite Übereinstimmung zu erzielen. Dass dies gelungen ist, machen der breite politische Konsens im Kreistag und die von Anfang an zu erkennende große Akzeptanz für das RROP deutlich. Es ist eine gute Basis, um gemeinsam die Entwicklung des Landkreises Leer vo- ranzubringen. Um die heutigen strukturpolitischen Herausforderungen zu bewältigen, sind vielfältige Pla- nungen auf ganz unterschiedlichen Ebenen durchzuführen. Dabei gestalten sich Abwä- gungs- und Entscheidungsprozesse angesichts ständig zunehmender verfahrensrechtlicher Anforderungen immer komplexer. Entscheidende Voraussetzung für die Nachhaltigkeit ein- zelner Handlungsmaßnahmen und damit für die weitere positive Entwicklung des Landkrei- ses ist es, diese auf ein gemeinsames gesamträumliches Leitbild auszurichten.

    Niedersachsen/Bremen/Hamburg/Ostfriesland Resources Introduction to Lower Saxony, Bremen & Hamburg Wikipedia states in regard to the regions of this modern German Bundesland: “Lower Saxony has clear regional divisions that manifest themselves both geographically as well as historically and culturally. In the regions that used to be independent, especially the heartlands of the former states of Brunswick, Hanover, Oldenburg and Schaumburg- Lippe, there is a marked local regional awareness. By contrast, the areas surrounding the Hanseatic cities of Bremen and Hamburg are much more oriented towards those centres.” A number of the Map Guides to German Parish Registers will need to be used to find your town if you are studying this region, among them numbers 4 (Oldenburg), 10 (Hessen-Nassau), 27 (Brunswick), 30-32 (Hannover), 39 (Westphalia & Schaumburg- Lippe) Online (a sampling) Niedersächsische Landesarchiv — http://aidaonline.niedersachsen.de Oldenburg emigrants — http://www.auswanderer-oldenburg.de Ahnenforschung.org “Regional Research” — http://forum.genealogy.net Hamburg Gen.

    “GATEWAY TO FREEDOM”: THE FRIEDLAND REFUGEE TRANSIT CAMP AS REGULATING HUMANITARIANISM, 1945-1960 DEREK JOHN HOLMGREN A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Konrad H. Jarausch Christopher R. Browning Chad Bryant Tobias Hof Donald J. Raleigh © 2015 Derek John Holmgren ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Derek John Holmgren: “Gateway to Freedom”: The Friedland Refugee Transit Camp as Regulating Humanitarianism, 1945-1960 (Under the direction of Konrad H. Jarausch) Using the refugee transit camp located in Friedland, Lower Saxony as a case study, this dissertation examines the efforts in West Germany to aid and resettle millions of persons displaced during and after World War II. These uprooted populations included foreign victims of the Nazi regime (forced laborers, prisoners of war, and concentration camp survivors), Germans evacuated from bombed-out cities, Germans fleeing or expelled from from Eastern Europe, and German soldiers who were demobilized and released from prisoner of war camps. Established by order of the British military government in September 1945, the camp at Friedland functioned as the lynchpin for a system designed to collect, aid, register, and resettle displaced populations as quickly as possible. As such, this study describes the operation of the camp as a regulating form of humanitarianism that not only aided refugees with food, shelter, and medical services, but also turned unmanageable masses into settled individuals with claims on the postwar welfare state. Between 1945 and 1960, the camp processed over 2.1 million individuals.
