We also regress household-level outcomes—expenditures, credit levels, and incomes—on whether the household's LURC is singly or jointly titled.

The study assesses the impact of
different types of land use rights certificates (LURC) on
individual and household welfare, expanding on the previous
research of Menon, Rodgers, and Kennedy (2016), which
assessed the effects of LURCs on agricultural land on
household welfare. This study considers more recent data
from the Vietnam Household Living Standards Survey (VHLSS)
of 2014 in addition to VHLSS data from 2002–08 and includes
an analysis of LURCs for agricultural as well as residential
land. The study findings are presented below in three
sections. The first is an analysis of land use and LURC
distribution trends based on the VHLSS data. The second
draws on a group of impact evaluations that compares the
effects of having different types of LURCs. We regress
individuals' employment and health care outcomes on
whether their name was included on a LURC. The treatment
variables are whether one has been issued an agricultural or
residential LURC, with controls for age, education,
ethnicity, urban residence, household consumption, land
area, and district. We also regress household-level
outcomes—expenditures, credit levels, and incomes—on whether
the household's LURC is singly or jointly titled.
Notably, the distribution of LURCs is not randomized, making
it difficult to estimate the causal effects of LURC status
and thereby limiting the conclusions that can be drawn. The
third section, using 2014 demographic data and LURC
distributions, offers a cost-benefit analysis of efforts to
convert and reissue all remaining singly titled LURCs to
jointly titled ones. We estimate the benefit as the impact
difference between single- and jointly titled LURCs as
calculated in the impact evaluation section and estimate
costs as those of reissuing a LURC. |
