A user-friendly method for estimating discrete choice land-use model in a panel data setting.

ABSTRACT: Land-use modeling stands as a pivotal tool in shaping sustainable development policies. With the rapid advancement of remote-sensing technology and the widespread adoption of satellite imagery-based land cover products, these datasets have emerged as primary sources for understanding land-use dynamics due to their high spatial and temporal resolutions. Yet, it remains challenging to effectively integrate such rich panel data into nonlinear econometric land-use models. This paper introduces a method to seamlessly incorporate land cover panel data into econometric models, enabling comprehensive utilization of temporal information within a single framework.-By capturing dynamic land-use patterns, the method enhances prediction accuracy while mitigating issues such as autocorrelated error term
