✦ Synopsis

In a two period model of land development, Arrow and Fisher, and Henry have shown that when development is both indivisible and irreversible, a developer who ignores the possibility of obtaining new information about the outcome of such development will invariably underestimate the benefits of preservation and hence favor development. This paper extends aspects of this literature by (i) studying the development question in a dynamic and stochastic framework, and (ii) explicitly incorporating an information production function into the analysis. In such a setting, I ask and answer the question concerning when development should take place.

## Abstract Effects of changes in land‐cover on soil quality parameters in an area in northern Ghana were studied. Land‐cover changes were derived from maps of the study area for 1984, 1992 and 1999. There were no significant differences between properties of soils under natural vegetation and soil
