    Ethiopia

    This paper provides evidence from one of
    the poorest countries of the world that the property rights
    matter for efficiency, investment, and growth. With all land
    state-owned, the threat of land redistribution never appears
    far off the agenda. Land rental and leasing have been made
    legal, but transfer rights remain restricted and the
    perception of continuing tenure insecurity remains quite
    strong. Using a unique panel data set, this study

    Africa, Southern Africa

    Miombo woodlands stretch across Southern
    Africa in a belt from Angola and the Democratic Republic of
    Congo (DRC) in the west to Mozambique in the east. The
    miombo region covers an area of around 2.4 million km. In
    some areas, miombo has been highly degraded as a result of
    human use (southern Malawi and parts of Zimbabwe), while in
    others, it remains relatively intact (such as in parts of
    northern Mozambique, and in isolated areas of Angola and the

    Nigeria

    The scope and urgency of the threats to
    Nigeria's rural land are no secret. In 2005, a working
    group dedicated to formulating a national agricultural land
    policy began the process with a comprehensive articulation
    of the challenges facing Nigeria's agricultural land.
    The litany included recognition that: 1) agricultural land
    use in the country has been unsustainable, resulting in no
    fewer than eleven types of extensive land degradation and

    Vietnam

    The authors examine the impact of land
    reform in Vietnam which gives households the power to
    exchange, transfer, lease, inherit, and mortgage their
    land-use rights. The authors expect this change to increase
    the incentives as well as the ability to undertake long-term
    investments on the part of households. Their
    difference-in-differences estimation strategy takes
    advantage of the variation across provinces in the issuance
