Household Returns to Land Transfers in South Africa: A Q-squared Analysis
结合官方家庭调查的计量分析与定性数据，发现南非土地改革受益者平均未从参与中获益，主因是顾问主导的土地使用计划与受益者技能不匹配。
Abstract The South African land reform programme has been widely criticised for its slow pace as well as its apparent lack of contribution to poverty reduction. However, there is little systematic evidence of the impact of land transfers on their beneficiaries due to data scarcity. This paper combines econometric evidence based on official household surveys with qualitative data collected specifically to triangulate and complement the econometric analysis. The qualitative data analysis confirms the plausibility of the econometric finding that, on average, beneficiaries do not gain from participation, and suggests that the main reason for the disappointing impact of participation is the incompatibility of consultant-led land use plans to land grantees' skills.
