Speechmaking in the Dutch parliament is characterized by party dominance and individual autonomy. This paradoxical situation can be understood from the perspective of specialization: every Member of Parliament acts as a spokesperson on a specific issue for their party. Therefore, usually, only one MP per party participates in a debate. Within their policy portfolio, MPs enjoy considerable autonomy, in particular in deciding whether to participate in a debate and what to say. The leadership does not decide for each debate whether or not to delegate speaking time to individual MPs, but rather at the beginning of the parliamentary term when the portfolios are assigned. An empirical analysis of debate participation and the number of words spoken shows that these are most strongly related to electoral list position and seniority. PPG leaders speak longer than other MPs, but we observe no such effect for committee chairs or PPG board members.

In this paper, we estimate a forest land price model using micro data, where the equilibrium price is interpretable as the outcome of a trading game between the buyer and seller. A novelty of the empirical analysis is the recognition that the forest land price, which has been agreed upon by the buyer and seller, may depend on variables characterizing the buyer's and seller's preferences and choice sets. The results imply that forest land prices are not only determined by land related variables (e.g., the land size, timber volume, and site productivity), they also depend significantly on buyer and seller characteristics.
