Right to stay? Long-run experimental evidence on land formalization and widows’ tenure security in Benin
In many parts of the world, women’s land rights remain informal, leaving widows – especially those without a male heir – at high risk of losing access to their land and homes when their husbands die. We study whether large-scale land formalization programs can improve widows’ tenure security, using data from a randomized controlled trial in rural Benin. Four years after the intervention, widows in villages with land formalization were significant…
Demand for “Safe Space”
The Speed of Justice
Can procedural reforms improve judicial efficiency? And do improvements in judicial efficiency benefit firms? We combine the staggered rollout of a reform that required judges in Senegal to complete pretrials within four months with high-frequency caseload data and firm tax filings. The reform improved judicial efficiency, with no effect on quality. Firm monthly revenues drop by 8–11% upon entering pretrial and decline by on average 3.2–5.0% for …
Gender gaps in technology diffusion
The Speed of Justice
This paper estimates the impact of a procedural reform on the efficiency and quality of adjudication in Senegal. The reform gave judges the duty and powers to conclude pre-trial proceedings within four months. A staggered rollout and three years of high-frequency data on court cases are combined to construct an event study. Estimates suggest a reduction in pre-trial formalism: duration decreases by 46 days, the number of hearings is reduced, and …
Formalization without certification? Experimental evidence on property rights and investment
Does feedback matter? Evidence from agricultural services
Seeing is believing? Evidence from an extension network experiment
Extension is designed to enable lab-to-farm technology diffusion. Decentralized models assume that information flows from researchers to extension workers, and from extension agents to contact farmers (CFs). CFs should then train other farmers in their communities. Such a modality may fail to address informational inefficiencies and accountability issues. We run a field experiment to measure the impact of augmenting the CF model with a direct CF …
Formalizing Rural Land Rights in West Africa
This paper presents early evidence from the first large-scale randomized-controlled trial of a land formalization program. The study examines the links between land demarcation and investment in rural Benin in light of a model of agricultural production under insecure tenure. The demarcation process involved communities in the mapping and attribution of land rights; cornerstones marked parcel boundaries and offered lasting landmarks. Consistent w…
Do Female Instructors Reduce Gender Bias in Diffusion of Sustainable Land Management Techniques? Experimental Evidence From Mozambique
Conflict displacement and labor market outcomes in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina
Agricultural Outputs and Conflict Displacement
In 1997 Rwanda introduced a resettlement policy for refugees displaced during previous conflicts. I exploit geographic variation in the speed of implementation of this policy to investigate the impact of conflict‐induced displacement and the resettlement policy on household agricultural output and on skill spillover mechanisms between returnees and stayers. I find that returns to on‐farm labor are higher for returnees relative to stayers, althoug…
