A Note on the Economic Significance of Dwellings on Farms
利用英格兰和威尔士农场商业调查数据,研究了1983年和1993年农场住宅对农场企业的经济贡献,发现租金收入占净农场收入的比例上升,且低估算的农场住宅租金可能导致农场收入被低估。
Using information from the Farm Business Survey for England and Wales, the paper explores the economic contribution of farm dwellings to the farm business in 1983 and 1993. Despite the stagnant property market and increasing farm incomes in the early 1990s, rent revenues rose as a proportion of net farm incomes. Including a low imputed rental value for farmhouses in farm income calculations may mean that incomes are being understated. Returns from letting property and a low imputed rent for the farmhouse help to stabilise farm incomes.
