Tenure Insecurity, Gender, Low-cost Land Certification and Land Rental Market Participation in Ethiopia

Abstract: There is a renewed interest in whether land reforms can contribute to market development and poverty reduction in Africa. This paper assesses effects on the allocative efficiency of the land rental market of the low-cost approach to land registration and certification of restricted property rights that was implemented in Ethiopia in the late 1990s. Four rounds of a balanced household panel from 16 villages in northern Ethiopia are analysed, showing that land certification initially enhanced land rental market … Show more

“…Features of the land certification program have been previously assessed in relation to several economic variables of interest (e.g., Holden et al, 2009;Deininger et al, 2011).

“…Thus, participation in rental markets is likely to be sub-optimal under insecure property rights. The positive link between tenure security and the land transaction has been widely observed in empirical studies in different countries [9][10][11][12][13]. In China's farmland transfer market, besides the tenure security, the development of parallel factor markets, especially the off-farm labor market, is seen as another crucial determinant of land transfer [7,[14][15][16][17][18].…”
