The authors use village and household level information from about 800 villages throughout China to explore whether legal reform increased protection of land rights against unauthorized reallocation or expropriation with below-average compensation by the state. The analysis provides nation-wide evidence on a sensitive topic. The authors find positive impacts, equivalent to increasing land values by 30 percent, of reform even in the short term. Reform originated in villages where democratic election of leaders ensured a minimum level of accountability, pointing toward complementarity between good governance and legal reform. The paper explores the implications for situations where individuals and groups hold overlapping rights to land. 2012-06-08T17:22:17Z 2012-06-08T17:22:17Z 2007-12 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2007/12/8886604/securing-property-rights-transition-lessons-implementation-chinas-rural-land-contracting-law http://hdl.handle.net/10986/7545 English Policy Research Working Paper; No. 4447 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Publications & Research East Asia and Pacific China
