DESCRIPTION:Land use and the geographic distribution of economic activity 
 are key determinants of a territory’s emissions of greenhouse gases. Emi
 ssions depend on whether land is built-up in cities\, used for agriculture
 \, or covered with forests. In cities\, emissions depend on the extent of 
 sprawl. We develop a quantitative spatial theory of land use where differe
 nt sectors compete for land. Technological and demographic evolutions trig
 ger structural change and shape land use\, commuting and residential choic
 es. Emissions change as a result. We estimate the quantitative model using
  French spatial data since 1950 across sectors. The estimation delivers no
 vel insights on the determinants of land use and emissions across space an
 d time and allows to evaluate the effect of technological change and agric
 ultural policies on welfare\, productivity and the environment.
