A Century-Long Perspective on Agricultural Development (2010, background): “…especially careful study finds no evidence of an investment effect in Burkina Faso, and suggests that the customary tenure system was not insecure and that the rural financial system was unresponsive to the putative increases in the collateral value of land (Brasselle, Gaspart, and Platteau 2002).”
The Economics of Land Degradation (2013, unknown): “Kabubo-Mariara (2007) Besley (1995), Brasselle et al. (2002) Poverty underlying No definite answer.”
Improving the effectiveness of interventions to balance conservation and development: a conceptual framework (2007, background): “…marine tenure is secure under national law in New Guinea, but this has not prevented the overexploitation of coral (Cinner 2005), whereas, in Burkina Faso, traditional communal tenure is considered sufficiently secure to enable investment in agricultural intensification (Brasselle et al. 2002).”
Tenure Insecurity, Gender, Low-cost Land Certification and Land Rental Market Participation in Ethiopia (2011, background): “Most studies have focused on investment impacts, few of which have controlled for the endogeneity of land rights (Brasselle et al, 2002 ).”
Tenure Insecurity and Investment in Soil Conservation. Evidence from Malawi (2013, background): “…longer term stability or favouring access to credit (Besley, Burchardi, & Ghatak, 2012), empirical studies have also found that land-related investments can enhance security and therefore suggest a causal relationship that works in the opposite direction (Brasselle, Gaspart, & Platteau, 2002).”
Legal Knowledge and Economic Development: The Case of Land Rights in Uganda (2006, background): “Taking more explicit account of knowledge is of particular relevance in our context as many African countries have recently passed new land laws without always having sufficient capacity to disseminate or implement them (McAuslan 1998).”
