    This paper is motivated by the emphasis
    on secure property rights as a determinant of economic
    development in recent literature. The authors use village
    and household level information from about 800 villages
    throughout China to explore whether legal reform increased
    protection of land rights against unauthorized reallocation

    Zambia

    Three of sub-Saharan Africa’s central
    economic realities motivate this study. First, agriculture
    is the most important sector in most African economies, on
    average accounting for nearly one-fourth of GDP. Second, the
    private sector is increasingly active in transforming
    African agriculture and economies. By 2030, agriculture and
    agribusiness are anticipated to become a US$ 1 trillion
    industry in Africa, delivering more jobs, income, and

    Honduras is Central America’s
    second-largest country with a population of more than 8
    million and a land area of about 112,000 square kilometers.

    incidence stubbornly high. Afghanistan faces tremendous
    development challenges. Gross domestic product (GDP)

    Myanmar, Global

    Myanmar grew at an estimated 8.5 percent
    in real terms in 2014-15. Economic reforms have supported
    consumer and investor confidence despite business
    environment and socio-political challenges. The economic
    impact of the floods that hit Myanmar from July 2015 is
    still being assessed, but will likely adversely affect the
    main rice crop this year. According to preliminary analysis
    of census data, the areas most affected by the floods are

    This paper studies the effects of
    differences in local administrative burdens in Italy in the
    years 2005–2007 preceding a major reform that sped up firm
    registration procedures. Combining regulatory data from a
    survey on Italian provinces before the reform (costs and
    time to start a business) with industry-level entry rates of
    limited liability firms, it explores the effects of
    regulatory barriers on the average of the annual entry rates

    Asia, Central Asia, Europe

    New qualitative fieldwork in eight
    countries of Europe and Central Asia (ECA) indicates that

    the last decade do not appear to be registering very

    provides a gender analysis of findings from equal numbers of
    sex-specific focus groups with employed and jobless
    individuals. The methodology featured a standardized package
