Innovative land policy does not yield to the pressure of short-term capital exploitation. Rather, innovative land policy establishes a fair balance between the interests of landowners and the public interest. As a keystone of land policy, property - particularly if open to innovation - plays a...

Land is a highly prized property in most African states, and it is governed by a complex set of rules and ceremonies.

Studies have found that air pollution increases with land misallocation, that is, industrial land is offered at low prices and in large quantities, while commercial/residential land at high price and in a restricted manner. We posit that urban sprawl is an important intermediate mechanism by...

In this time of rapid climate change and gaping inequality, we face urgent questions about the ability of current property systems to sustain us into the future. But how does property-system change happen? Land reform is difficult to imagine, much less implement, within a physical landscape...

We use a dataset of the entire population of English Parliamentary enclosure acts between 1750 and 1830 to provide the first causal evidence of their impact. Exploiting a feature of the Parliamentary process that produced such legislation as a source of exogenous variation, we show that...

In many poor and densely populated countries, a large fraction of land is devoted to agriculture. This makes industrialization and urbanization, both of which require land, a serious challenge. We argue that land can be re-allocated from agricultural to non-agricultural uses without any adverse...

The US Civil War ended in 1865 without the distribution of land or compensation to those formerly enslaved--a decision often seen as a cornerstone of racial inequality. We build a dataset to observe Black households' landholdings in 1880, a key component of their wealth, alongside a sample of...
