“…At the very least it is myopic. Deininger, Zagarra, and Lavadenz (2003) devote one short line on the possible impact of credit on the rural land markets, but they do not attempt to estimate its impact on the Nicaraguan land market, though they use survey data similar to the MECOVI dataset.…”

“…Deininger, Zagarra, and Lavadenz (2003) find that land rental markets are having some equalizing effect on the operational distribution of land in Nicaragua, but are far from achieving total equalization. Since they also find a significant negative relationship between operational holdings and agricultural profits, it is clear that better-working land rental markets would increase overall productivity and equity in Nicaragua.…”

“…Throughout Latin America, the evidence suggests that land rental markets are constrained by weak property rights and ineffective conflict resolution institutions (Deininger, Zagarra, and Lavadenz 2003). Deininger, Zagarra, and Lavadenz (2003) find that land rental markets are having some equalizing effect on the operational distribution of land in Nicaragua, but are far from achieving total equalization.…”

“…Except for the inclusion of the sex of the household head and credit, this follows the model used in the Nicaragua study (Deininger, Zagarra, and Lavadenz 2003). Notice first that for both incidence and amount of land sold, the prior amount of land owned is a significant positive contributor to participation.…”

Terms of use: Documents in ABSTRACTThis paper examines the claim that the land rental market can be an effective means of redistributing access to, if not ownership of, land to the rural poor, using Paraguay as our model.The land sales market is also examined. The land rental market in Paraguay's rural areas is found to be very thin, due at least in part to a lack of available credit for inputs. Renting-in substantial amounts of land is found to contribute significantly to household per-capita income.JEL Classifications: D39, O12, Q15

“…The greater trade openness has not boosted agricultural productivity, however. Empirical evidence suggests that the gains in productivity growth have been modest at best and are concentrated in the large-scale farm production of export crops, while productivity growth has been stagnant in smallholder farming (Deininger, Zegarra, and Lavadenz 2003;Bravo-Ortega and Lederman 2004;World Bank 2003).…”

Despite the overreaching importance that the international donor community places on formal land titles as part of the process for securing property rights, improving the functioning of the land market and ensuring pro-poor development, little attention is given to the specific ways in which factors such as inequality and abuses of public office mediate or even negate the expected effect of land titles. Based on empirical data from Nicaragua, this article shows that the state system is costly and does not provide a level playing field. In addition to land titles, different actions are used to secure property rights, drawing on other authorities which represent plural sources of recognition of land rights. Furthermore, the study shows that land transactions are often not followed up with titling and inscription in the name of the new owner, especially not among the poorest landowners. This has implications for future land titling policies.
