The determinants of investment, input use, and productivity are investigated under customary tenure in peri-urban areas of the Gambia. A structural model is specified to investigate the role of tenure security on farm investments and input use and thereby on yield. Testing of the structural form hypotheses requires simultaneous equation estimation. Containing both continuous and discrete endogenous variables, the model is estimated as a feasible generalized least squares Amemiya's generalized probit. Some of the positive relationships hypothesized between tenure security, investment, and yields are corroborated. In particular, tenure security is found to enhance long-term investments, which in turn enhance yields.

Tenure security is believed to be critical in spurring agricultural investment and productivity. Yet what improves or impedes tenure security is still poorly understood. Using household- and plot-level data from Ghana, this study analyzes the main factors associated with farmers’ perceived tenure security. Individually, farmers perceive greater tenure security on plots acquired via purchase or inheritance than on land allocated by traditional authorities. Collectively, however, perceived tenure security lessens in communities with more active land markets and economic vibrancy. Migrant households and women in polygamous households feel less secure about their tenure, while farmers with political connections are more confident about their tenure security.

Most of the literature on land tenure in developing countries asserts that agricultural performance is negatively affected by indigenous land tenure systems and farm fragmentation. This study is the first empirical test of these assertions for a North African country and is based on primary data collected from 841 plots on 131 farms in the Mnasra region of northwestern Morocco. The data analysis was designed to meet the following study objectives: (1) to analyze the prevailing indigenous and modern land tenure systems; (2) to determine the effects of tenure security on farm investment, input use, and agricultural productivity; and (3) to examine the impact of farm fragmentation on agricultural productivity. The results indicate that indigenous land tenure has evolved toward increasing privatization. Estimation of an OLS model revealed that farm fragmentation has no impact on agricultural productivity. In fact, farm fragmentation may be an appropriate response to the farmer's needs to achieve ecological diversity, handle labor shortages, and manage risk. Estimation of a 2SLS structural model indicated that land tenure security has a positive effect on long-term investments, but no direct impact on medium-term investment, input use, or agricultural productivity. However, tenure security does exert an indirect positive influence on input use and agricultural productivity through its effect on long-term investment. Policy implications of the study include the finding that consolidation and titling programs cannot be expected to automatically increase agricultural productivity.

In line with the conventional view that customary land rights impede agricultural development, the traditional tenure system in Nigeria has been perceived to obstruct the achievement of efficient development and agricultural transformation. This led to the Land Use Act (LUA) of 1978. As a remedial measure to the perceived inadequacy of the traditional tenure system, the act nationalized the control of all land, empowering state governors and local governments with administration and manage-ment of land.1 The act conferred on state governors the custodian right to provide use rights (i.e., the right of occupancy) for land users in their state, dissolving any possessory (freehold) rights to land which were granted by the customary system.

While the need for land-related investment for sustainable land management and increased productivity is well recognized, quantitative evidence on agricultural productivity effects of secure property rights in Africa is scant. Within-household analysis of investments by owner-cum-occupants in Uganda points toward significant and quantitatively large investment effects of full ownership. Registration is estimated to have no investment effects, whereas measures to strengthen occupancy rights attenuate investment disincentives. While this supports the importance of secure tenure as a precondition for growth, it also suggests that interventions aiming to increase tenure security need to be context-specific for it to be fully effective.
