Land and Urban Economic Growth in China (2011, unknown): “This literature has examined the effects of tenure security on investment in land quality, other agricultural improvements, and agricultural productivity generally (see for example Benjamin and Brandt, 2002; Jacoby et al., 2002; Deininger and Jin, 2003).”
Is Land Titling in Sub-Saharan Africa Cost-Effective? (2007, unknown): “For initial expropriation risk on the order of 10 percent, as found in China under an explicit regime of village-level land reallocation (see Jacoby et al. 2002), the investment responses are always large.”
Land Tenure Arrangements and Rural-Urban Migration in China (2011, background): “So far analysis of the land tenure reforms has mainly focused on the impact of rural land tenure on investment and productivity (e.g. Carter & Yao 1999; Jacoby et al. 2002; Deininger & Jin 2003).”
Relaxing rural constraints: a ‘win-win’ policy for poverty and environment in China? (2010, background): “Frequently this is because the disincentive e¤ect of land reallocations on farmers investment incentives results in land degradation (Jacoby et al. 2001; Brandt, Rozelle and Turner 2004).”
What Is Tenure Security? Conceptual Implications for Empirical Analysis (2011, methodology): “In Africa, Besley (1995) (Ghana), Place and Otsuka (2002) (Uganda), Smith (2004) (Zam- bia), Kabubo-Mariara (2007) (Kenya), Kabubo-Mariara et al. (2006) (Kenya), Gavian and Fafchamps (1996) (Niger), and Hayes, Roth, and Zepeda (1997) (Gambia) all found positive relationships between tenure security…”
Impacts of land certification on tenure security, investment, and land markets: evidence from Ethiopia (2008, background): “Positive impacts of more secure land tenure on investment and land values in rural areas have been demonstrated in China (Jacoby et al. 2002), Thailand (Feder et al. 1988), Latin America (Deininger and Chamorro 2004, Field et al. 2006, Bandiera 2007, Fort 2007), Eastern Europe (Rozelle and Swinnen 2”
Land tenure security and land investments in Northwest China (2013, background): “The latter finding again contradicts previous studies for short-term land investments in China, which found that fewer investments are made in rented-in land (Li et al., 1998, 2000; Jacoby et al., 2002; Feng et al., 2010), but is consistent with similar results found for Ethiopia (Holden and Yohanne”
Environmental and Gender Impacts of Land Tenure Regularization in Africa: Pilot Evidence from Rwanda (2011, background): “Beyond Africa, positive impacts of tenure security on investment in rural areas have been documented in China (Jacoby et al. 2002), Thailand (Feder et al.”
Do overlapping property rights reduce agricultural investment ? evidence from Uganda (2007, unknown): “Other studies have therefore used subjective measures of the threat of expropriation (Jacoby et al. 2002), composite measures of self-assessed transfer rights (Blarel 1994, Matlon 1994, Besley 1995, Place and MigotAdholla 1998, Place and Otsuka 2001), or a combination of the two (Ayalew et al.”
Land documents, tenure security and land rental development: Panel evidence from China (2015, background): “…level (see Besley (1995), andDeininger and Jin (2006) in the context of Africa; Alston, Libecap, and Schneider (1995); Lopez (1997), and Lanjouw and Levy (2002) in the context of Latin America; and Feder (1988); Jacoby, Li, and Rozelle (2002), and Do and Iyer (2003) in the context of Asia).”
Village Political Economy, Land Tenure Insecurity, and the Rural to Urban Migration Decision: Evidence from China (2014, background): “As in many other developing countries, China has laws with provisions to formally protect individualistic land use rights, but enforcement mechanisms do not necessarily exist or function as intended (e.g, Benjamin and Brandt, 2002; Brandt et al, 2004; Dieninger and Jin, 2009; Jacoby et al, 2002).”
Agricultural Cooperatives and Investment in Organic Soil Amendments and Chemical Fertilizer in China (2018, result): “This finding is in line with Jacoby et al. (2002) for China, who found that farmers living in villages where expropriation risk is higher tend to invest less in organic fertilizer.”
