Abstract
This study examines the effects of the Section 1031 tax-deferred exchange provision on agricultural land values. The provision allows taxpayers to defer taxation for relinquished productive assets if a like-kind asset is acquired within the allotted time of 180 days. The analysis examines a set of 3,580 farm real estate transaction from 55 agricultural counties in Indiana over the period 2003–2006. Hedonic price analysis suggests that properties acquired under a like-kind exchange are associated with a 1.32% price premium. (JEL H23, Q15)
