The distribution of landed property

TL;DR

This paper analyzes land plot ownership distribution in the Zlín Region of the Czech Republic, proposing a simple model combining inheritance and market behavior to explain the observed data.

Contribution

It introduces a novel model that explains land ownership distribution by integrating inheritance and market dynamics, applied to real regional data.

Findings

Data are well explained by the combined inheritance and market model.

The model provides insights into land ownership patterns in the Zlín Region.

The approach can be extended to other regions or property types.

Abstract

The distribution of property is established through various mechanisms. In this paper we study the acreage distribution of land plots owned by natural persons in the Zl\'{\i}n Region of the Czech Republic. We show that the data are explained in terms of a simple model in which the inheritance and market behavior are combined.
