Description
The Lincoln Institute of Land Policy is a nonprofit and tax-exempt educational institution founded in 1974 to improve the quality of public debate and decisions in the areas of land policy and land-related taxation. The Institute's goals are to integrate theory and practice to better shape land policy and to provide a nonpartisan forum for discussion of the multidisciplinary forces that influence public policy. Inspired by the work of Henry George as expressed in the book Progress and Poverty (1879), the Lincoln Institute introduces his thinking and ideas into the contemporary land and tax policy debate to advance a more equitable and productive society.
The Institute seeks to inform decision making through education, research, dissemination of information, and demonstration projects in the United States and internationally. Our programs bring together scholars, practitioners, public officials, policy advisers, and involved citizens in a collegial learning community. The Institute does not take a particular point of view, but rather serves as a catalyst to facilitate analysis and discussion of land use and taxation issues — to make a difference today and to help policy makers plan for tomorrow.
While most programs focus on land and tax policy in the United States, the Institute recognizes the effects of the global economy and urbanization on land uses, land markets, and fiscal decentralization. We have a special interest in Latin America and the Caribbean, where we have developed a collaborative network of scholars and public officials who work toward understanding and improving land policies in different contexts. In Asia, we have a long-term collaboration with the International Center for Land Policy Training and Studies (ICLPTS) in Taiwan. In addition, we have undertaken research and training programs with several partners in the People’s Republic of China. In Central and Eastern Europe we work with officials from the public and private sectors to study and offer guidance on land and tax reforms in those emerging market economies.
