概要
This seminar weaves together two themes on the relationship between property rights and economic growth. First, when property rights are ill-defined and not well enforced, both male and female farmers choose different allocations of resources that can lead to reduced welfare. Second, women often have weaker rights, and this can manifest in different allocations and worse outcomes. This seminar will present evidence from 4 different evaluations of land registration programs in developing countries and explore how these interventions improve the allocation of productive factors and welfare outcomes for men and women.
