A major argument put forward in favour of individualised land rights in sub-Saharan Africa is that farmlands held under exclusive and secure rights are more productive than farmlands held under other public or customary forms of tenure. If true, this argument implies that reforms to individualise...

The degree to which prevailing land tenure arrangements constrain agricultural productivity, and the sources of inefficiency associated with land tenure systems in sub-Saharan Africa are unresolved. Using a stochastic frontier production function, this paper examines the economic efficiency and t...


Ahmed, M.M.Gebremedhin, BerhanuBenin, S.E.Ehui, Simeon K.[Measurement and sources of technical efficiency of land tenure contracts in Ethiopia]Measurement and sources of technical efficiency of land tenure contracts in Ethiopia

This paper examines the relative efficiency of alternative land tenure arrangements using a single region (Arsi) in Ethiopia as a case study. The first part of the paper discusses land tenure issues in sub-Saharan Africa. The second part outlines the conceptual framework. Interspatial and interte...

In this paper, we test the hypothesis that land held under varying configurations of property rights will be farmed at different levels of production efficiency. Production data were collected from 477 plots in a fairly productive, mixed farming system in the Ethiopian highlands. Interspatial mea...

Although the question of relative production efficiency of indigenous land rights is central to a discussion of land reform in sub-Saharan Africa, there is relatively little rigorous empirical research because of a lack of adequate disaggregated data with the exception of few studies, the subject...

Reducing resource degradation, increasing agricultural productivity, and reducing poverty and food insecurity are major challenges in Ethiopia, where nearly 90% of people live in rtual areas and depend on agriculture for their livelihoods. Since 1991, the federal and regional governments have foc...
