Socio-economic development and land-use change: Analysis of rural housing land transition in the Transect of the Yangtse River, China (2007, background): “While it seems that LUCC research still remains under-theorized, applications making use of structural elements that specifically attempt to examine and explain these issues are few (Walker and Solecki, 2004).”
Ranching and the new global range: Amazônia in the 21st century (2009, background): “We have argued that frontier expansion in the Amazon, with associated land cover change, is a process driven by increasing in g sl m 2 location rents (Walker, 2004).”
The forest transition: Towards a more comprehensive theoretical framework☆ (2010, background): “…attempts to identify the causes of deforestation by ross-sectional and panel regression analyses of rates of deforestaion and socio-economic change both across and within countries see Angelsen and Kaimowitz, 1999; Barbier and Burgess, 2001; rainger, 1998; Lambin, 1994; Walker, 2004 for reviews).”
Rents, Actors, and the Expansion of Commodity Frontiers in the Gran Chaco (2018, background): “…overcome the limitations of bid rent theory and better represent agent-level and political or institutional dynamics in theories of landuse change (Walker 2004; Jepson 2006; Jepson, Brannstrom, and Filippi 2010) by incorporating the notions of agent-level heterogeneity and disequilibrium as…”

Theorizing Land Cover and Land Use Change: The Peasant Economy of Amazonian Deforestation (2007, background): “Therefore, we consider the early work in broad outline to establish the context of current analyses focusing on so-called spatially explicit models using highly disaggregated data, often derived from remote sensing applications ( Walker 2004 ).”
Middle-range theories of land system change (2018, background): “Such changes move the land-use frontier, usually involving the expansion of the more profitable land use (Walker, 2004; Angelsen, 2010).”
Driving forces of tropical deforestation: The role of remote sensing and spatial models (2006, methodology): “…land use modelling using an econometric framework was one put forth by Chomitz and Gray (1996), and spatial econometric techniques have been increasingly applied in recent years (Cropper et al. , 1999; Pfaff, 1999; Geoghegan et al. , 2001; Nelson et al. , 2001; Munroe et al. , 2004; Walker, 2004).”
Linking Land Change with Driving Forces and Actors: Four Conceptual Models (2010, methodology): “They are used either independently or in conjunction with other theories such as Chayanov’s theory of the peasant economy, Boserup’s thesis (Boserup 1965), and historical analysis (Angelsen 1999, Geoghegan et al. 2001, Irwin and Geoghegan 2001, Perz and Walker 2002, Walker 2004, Caldas et al. 2007).”
