“…Even if land sales markets work well, imperfect credit and insurance markets will lead to greater land concentration (Carter and Zegarra 1999). Local agricultural economies are characterized by covariate risk due to localized factors such as climate and disease.…”

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

“…Agriculture, and the small-farm sector in particular, according to this view, often has a large reservoir of underutilized labor that could be more fully employed if farm size were increased or if landless agricultural workers were given access to land. The economics of farm size-the inverse relationship between farm size and factor productivity hypothesis-has become an increasingly influential view in the region (Carter and Zegarra, 1999;Binswanger, et al, 1995).…”

Rural Poverty in Latin America

Poverty in most of Latin America is still more rural than urban. In Mexico, Central America, and the Andean countries, more than 60 percent of the poor live in rural areas, and their poverty is deeper than that in urban areas. Paradoxically, however, the most influential analyses on poverty have a strong urban orientation-leaving a major gap in understanding the nature and magnitude of rural poverty. The heterogeneity of the region's rural poor-in education, per capita income, access to land and off-farm employment-increases the need for the gap to be filled, so that a strategy to alleviate rural poverty might be developed. 1 This article synthesizes six new case studies of rural poverty in Latin America-for Chile,
