| There is a growing recognition that well-defined and enforceable property rights to land are important for a range of economic and social functions. To assess land governance at the country level, the World Bank has elaborated a diagnostic tool based on empirical indicators that aims to identify areas for improvement and that could be used to monitor progress in the land sector. This tool, the Land Governance Assessment Framework (LGAF), was first tested in Peru, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Indonesia and in the Kyrgyz Republic, and is currently being implemented in a number of other countries worldwide. The present paper summarizes the main results obtained from the Kyrgyz pilot to illustrate the case of land governance issues that arise in a post-transition... |

| Romania bears the marks of the country’s former land policies : 36% of the active population is involved in agricultural activity. In addition, the agricultural land is characterized by excessive land fragmentation (approximately 2 ha per holding). In the context of a strong will to stimulate the land market and to encourage competitiveness by modernizing the production systems, the Ministry of Agriculture in 2005 decided to implement a specific policy : the life annuity subsidy. This consists in a subsidy calculated according to the surface of the agricultural land, paid to people over 62 years old who commit themselves to stopping agricultural activity. This paper analyses the opportunity for farmers to participate in this program using a Net Present... |

| A földet elsősorban mint termelési eszközt értelmezve, a pragmatikus gondolkodást és nem a nosztalgiát tartom célravezetőnek. Ismeretes, hogy két elgondolás él a köztudatban. Egyik a liberális földfelfogás, amely szerint a föld olyan termelési eszköz, mellyel más termelési eszközökhöz hasonlóan profitot lehet termelni, amely biztosítja a klasszikus értelemben vett bővített újratermelést. A másik nézet a közgazdasági kategóriákat mellőzve a földet a nemzet kincsének, a paraszti lét alapjának, az élet megtestesítőjének tekinti. Amennyiben ez utóbbi teória eltekint a földnek, mint termelési eszköznek objektív tulajdonságaitól, melyek akaratunktól függetlenül működnek, oda jutunk, ahol ma a magyar mezőgazdaság leledzik, vagyis néhány alapanyag kivételével... |

| China's accession to the World Trade Organization, a significant event for U.S. agricultural trade, has been viewed as benefitting U.S. farmers, especially midwestern farmers. This research compares the productivity and cost of production (COP) of China and the United States in producing corn, soybeans, and hogs. The results show that the U.S. Midwest (defined in this study as the Heartland region as classified by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service) has a substantial advantage in land and labor productivities in producing corn and soybeans, especially compared to China's South and West producing regions. However, China's Northeast region, a major corn- and soybean-producing area, has a very competitive COP over the U.S. Midwest.... |

| Abstract: The Brazilian Forest Code restricts landowners’ uses of the land. Changes in property rights are therefore the core element of the program. In this paper the new institutional literature on property rights is used to analyze the main difficulties involved in such a re-specification of rights. Four concepts from this literature are described and applied to better understand the issues that have hindered the program in the past and that affect the current version of the program initiated in 2012: (i) property rights as a ‘bundle of rights’, (ii) evolution of property rights, (iii) path dependence; and Ostrom’s 8 design principles. The paper argues that the key issue for the Forest Code is the level of uncertainty of the gap between the de jure and... |
