While they find some support for endogeneity of investment in trees, this is not the case for terraces. Transfer rights are unambiguously investment-enhancing. The large productivity effect of terracing implies that, even where households undertake investments to increase their tenure security, this may not be socially efficient. In Ethiopia, government action to increase tenure security and transferability of land rights can significantly enhance rural investment and productivity. 2014-05-14T20:55:47Z 2014-05-14T20:55:47Z 2003-03 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2003/03/2178281/tenure-security-land-related-investment-evidence-ethiopia http://hdl.handle.net/10986/18321 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No. 2991 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Publications & Research Africa Ethiopia
