Land Tenure Systems and Their Impacts on Agricultural Investments and Productivity in Uganda
实证分析了乌干达中部不同土地权属制度(mailo、习惯法和公共土地)对农业投资和生产率的影响,发现农民会通过种植咖啡来增强土地权属安全,而休耕更多发生在权属更稳定的土地上,但权属对作物生产率没有影响。
This article provides an empirical analysis of the impact of different tenure systems (mailo, customary, and public land) on agricultural investment and productivity in central Uganda. A major hypothesis tested is that land investments and practices may have both economic and tenure security implications. The results indicate that coffee planting is used by farmers to enhance tenure security, while fallowing is practised to a greater extent by farmers on more secure holdings. This supports the notion that farmers consider tenure implications when making investments and that different tenure systems do not inhibit the promotion of tree-planting investment. Tenure had no impact on the productivity of crop farming.
