Land Inheritance and Market Transactions in Uganda
研究了非市场土地交易（继承）的作用，发现乌干达农村中无地或少地家庭通过市场获得土地，而土地多的家庭通过出售和遗赠处置土地，表明土地均等化过程正在发生。
Studies on the role of nonmarket land transactions remain limited. This paper addresses two questions: Is land inheritance driven by underdeveloped land markets? How does land inheritance influence land disposal and acquisition? We use a switching regression model on household data from rural Uganda. We find that the initially landless or nearlandless households, due to little or no land inheritance, obtain land through land markets, while those that are land rich dispose of land through land sales and bequests. The results suggest that a process of land equalization is unfolding within the sample. <i></i>
