Abstract
⺠We examine the option value of land under the threat of eminent domain. ⺠Compensation using pre-threat market value, as in the US, speeds development. ⺠Pre-threat market value compensation reduces efficiency. ⺠Compensation using higher post-threat option value slows development. ⺠Post-threat option value compensation increases efficiency.
