Abstract

In this article, we adopt a novel perspective to analyse the evolution in the exploitation of dehesas (pasture-grounds) taking into consideration some relevant issues that have been traditionally overlooked. In particular, we focus on technological change, market structure, communications, and particularly the prevailing system of land possession. To address these topics, we use concepts from economic theory, such as agency theory and environmental revenue. Our analysis is based on a study written by an agricultural technician in 1889, from which we can learn about the hardships imposed by the quality of the soil and the weather, as well as other economic restrictions. This study was addressed to the land owner, who was supposed to make a decision regarding the approprite land tenancy system.
