    Global, Egypt, Mexico

    This report summarizes a case study of the Mexican ejidocommunity tenure system. Mexico was selected for this case study because of the rich history and extensive scale of the country’s community land tenure and registration systems. This community system covers 52% of the area of Mexico, roughly equivalent to the size of Egypt, and comprises over 30 000 communities. The ejido system emanated from the Mexican revolution (1910-1917) and represents a case where the customary system of land has been largely integrated into the statutory system.

    Mali, Western Africa

    Urban and peri-urban land markets in rapidly expanding West African cities operate within and across different coexisting tenure regimes and involve complex procedures to obtain or make land available for housing. Because a structured framework lacks for the analysis of such systems, this book proposes a systemic approach and applies it to Bamako and its surrounding areas.

    Rwanda

    Land markets play a limited role in
    subsistence economies with low skill-intensity of
    agricultural cultivation, equally distributed land
    endowments and little movement out of agriculture to join
    the non-farm economy. But, as the economy starts to
    diversify, the scope for efficiency-enhancing land transfers
    beyond immediate kin and for longer than just one season
    assumes significantly greater importance. Lease markets can

    Africa, Western Africa

    This paper presents early evidence from
    the first large-scale randomized-controlled trial of a land
    formalization program. The study examines the links between
    land demarcation and investment in rural Benin in light of a
    model of agricultural production under insecure tenure. The
    demarcation process involved communities in the mapping and
    attribution of land rights; cornerstones marked parcel
    boundaries and offered lasting landmarks. Consistent with

    Mauritania

    Mauritania is a vast country covering
    over a million square kilometers, where a relatively small
    population of 3.5 million people lives on just one-fifth of
    the country’s total area. With extremely advanced
    desertification, the country is particularly vulnerable to
    the impact of climate change and other external shocks. The
    main sources of income in Mauritania are agriculture, which
    is either irrigated or rain-fed, and livestock. This is

    China

    As part of a national experiment, in
    2008 Chengdu prefecture implemented ambitious property
    rights reforms, including complete registration of all land
    together with measures to ease transferability and eliminate
    labor market restrictions. This study uses a discontinuity
    design with spatial fixed effects to compare 529 villages
    just inside and outside the prefecture’s border. The results
    suggest that the reforms increased tenure security, aligned

    Since the industrial revolution, the
    economic development of Western Europe and North America was
    characterized by continuous urbanization accompanied by a
    gradual phasing-in of urban land property rights over time.
    Today, however, the evidence in many fast urbanizing
    low-income countries points towards a different trend of
    “urbanization without formalization”, with potentially
    adverse effects on long-term economic growth. This paper

    Poland

    Poland’s economic growth over the last
    25 years has been spectacular. In that period, Poland has
    more than doubled its income per capita and became a
    European growth champion. It was the only EU country to
    avoid a recession in 2009. Its current GDP growth rate is
    strong. Poland seems to be on the brink of its new ‘golden
    age.’ Doing Business in Poland 2015 is the first subnational
    report of the Doing Business series in Poland. It measures
