Thünen developed the basics of the theory of marginal productivity in a mathematically rigorous way, summarizing it in the formula in which
where:
- R = Rent per unit of land.
- Y = Yield per unit of land.
- p = market price per unit of yield.
- c = Average production costs per unit of yield.
- m = Distance from market (in kilometers or miles).
- f = Freight rate per unit of yield and unit of distance (Source here ; geography of trasporting systems) by Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue, Dept. of Economics & Geography
- The city is located centrally within an "Isolated State."
- The Isolated State is surrounded by wilderness.
- The land is completely flat and has no rivers or mountains.
- Soil quality and climate are consistent.
- Farmers in the Isolated State transport their own goods to market via oxcart, across land, directly to the central city. There are no roads.
- Farmers behave rationally to maximize profits. (Wikipedia)

Abstract. The von Thünen model of agricultural land use is reformulated in this paper as an investment decision in which the objectives of farmers range from total risk-aversion to profit-maximization. By means of a variant of the mean-variance model of contemporary portfolio theory, it is demonstrated that individual bid-rent functions depend on the nature of a farmer's utility function. Because farmers' objectives affect their bid-rent functions, the spatial pattern of agricultural production is also affected. The conventional result of the von Thuënen model is shown to be a special case of the more general portfolio model.
