Unbundling tenure security and demand for property rights: Evidence from urban Tanzania
通过激励性支付意愿实验、调查和深度访谈，研究坦桑尼亚达累斯萨拉姆居民如何评估正式产权的不同维度，解释为何城市土地登记率低，为更有效的产权政策提供依据。
Rapid urbanisation in sub-Saharan Africa occurs with little land registration, and government-led regularisation schemes often find limited uptake of title deeds by residents. In theory, there could be private and public benefits from land titling in cities. However, little is known about how landholders value the various dimensions of formal property rights in comparison to informal tenure. We address these questions by unbundling property rights into multiple functions of tenure security and by adopting an innovative combination of methods, including an incentivised willingness-to-pay exercise, a survey, and in-depth interviews conducted in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Examining how landholders perceive dimensions of tenure advances our understanding of limited land formalisation in urban Africa and provides evidence for alternative policy approaches to address local demand for tenure security more effectively.
