Book excerpt: Property Rights in Land widens our understanding of property rights by looking through the lenses of social history and sociology, discussing mainstream theory of new institutional economics and the derived grand narrative of economic development. As neo-institutional development theory has become a narrative in global history and political economy, the problem of promoting global development has arisen from creating the conditions for ‘good’ institutions to take root in the global economy and in developing societies. Written by a collection of expert authors, the chapters delve into social processes through which property relations became institutionalized and were used in social action for the appropriation of resources and rent. This was in order to gain a better understanding of the social processes intervening between the institutionalized ‘rules of the game’ and their economic and social outcomes. This collection of essays is of great interest to those who study economic history, historical sociology and economic sociology, as well as Agrarian and rural history.

This book was released on 2011-09-09 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between property rights, natural resource governance, and economic development has long been a primary subject of inquiry for political economists. Yet much uncertainty remains regarding the association between economic development and insecure property rights; the functioning and impact of collective ownership institutions; and the interaction between formal laws and informal social norms in generating de facto institutional environments. I tackle these interdependent issues in three ways, moving from the macro to the micro. Chapter I re-examines the cross-country research on property rights and economic development, revealing heterogeneity in the level of property rights security enjoyed by groups within countries, and showing that whose property rights are secure and insecure matters fundamentally for the political and economic implications of expropriation risk. Chapter II investigates the interaction between formal laws and informal social norms in generating de facto institutions for natural resource governance, illustrating how informal rules can inadvertently allow groups to overcome potential collective action failures and facilitate environmental conservation. Chapter III addresses the structure and functioning of collective fisheries ownership in Fiji; the dialogic relationship between formal state laws and informal social norms in that context; and the impact of stronger collective ownership rights on household income and food consumption. This research contributes critical insights that have often been obscured by the uni-dimensional conception of property rights pervasive in the economics research literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation consists of three essays that focus on the nature of institutions on First Nations reserves in Canada and the implications for economic development. This research contributes to an important and growing literature that seeks to better understand the persistence of poverty in Indigenous communities. My discussion and analysis focus on the First Nations Land Management Act (FNLMA). In addition, I examine the use and benefits of individualized property rights on First Nations reserves. This research is of economic significance due to the complex institutional arrangements that exist on reserves, the persistence and prevalence of poverty, and the growing trend towards reform. The first essay provides a review of the recent economics literature on Indigenous economic development in Canada and the United States. Due to the lack of empirical research on First Nations reserves in Canada, I carefully review the literature relating to Native American reservations and highlight key themes and similarities that are relevant for First Nations. This review identifies three common themes related to institutions and economic development on reserves and reservations: restrictive property arrangements, credit availability, and issues of sovereignty. The second essay investigates the factors influencing adoption and implementation of the FNLMA. I focus my analysis on two key factors: individualized property rights and previous participation in government-led reforms. I find that individualized property rights are an important factor influencing FNLMA implementation and I find some evidence that past reform experience influences adoption. This research builds on previous work by Doidge, Deaton, and Woods (2013) and Chen (2015), which provide evidence that urban distance and average education levels influence FNLMA adoption. The third essay assesses the benefits of the FNLMA for housing quality on First Nations reserves. Poor quality and overcrowded housing are persistent and prevalent problems across most First Nations reserves in Canada. In general, I find mixed evidence that implementation improves housing quality, although I do find that individualized property rights do improve housing quality. Nevertheless, my results suggest that the impacts of these reforms are relatively small and therefore unlikely to significantly improve poverty on First Nations reserves.

This book was released on 1999-09-01 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper formalizes the role of legal infrastructure in economic development in a general equilibrium model with endogenously determined property rights enforcement. It illustrates the mutual importance of property rights protection and market production by the model’s multiplicity of equilibria. In one equilibrium, property rights are enforced and market activity is unhampered. In the other, property rights are not enforced, which discourages economic activity and leaves the economy without the resources and incentives to enforce property rights. Even identically endowed economies may therefore find themselves in very different equilibria.

This book was released on 2009-08 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject Economics - History, grade: 1,7, Humboldt-University of Berlin, 6 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: The paper will give a general overview on Douglass C. North's theoretical work during the last twenty years on economic history as well as on new institutions economics and institutional change. While the paper is more concerned on how North approaches the origin and development of the state via property rights it also will take his theory of institutional change and the way he emphasizes economies of scale and transaction costs into account. Part One of this paper will give a short introduction into the topic of the philosophy of the state. This will be followed by North's argumentation and thus his philosophy of the state derived in his numerous works. To begin with, Part Two of this paper gives an introduction into North's argumentation on the role of property rights for economic growth. Part Three will then explain what role government has in economic organization. The role of economies of scale for property rights and fiscal policies will be looked upon thereafter in Part Four. The circle will then be closed by linking economic growth and property rights with the development of the state. Analogously to North's argumentation in his book "The Rise of the Western World" the paper takes a section of ten millennia in economic history in order to explain the tension between property rights and the role of government as North sees it. North's model of the state will then be introduced in Part Six, followed by a short introduction into his Theory of Institutional Change in Part Seven of this paper. A short critique will be given at the end.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The right to own and use private property is among the most essential human rights and the essential basis for economic growth. That’s why America’s Founders guaranteed it in the Constitution. Yet in today’s America, government tramples on this right in countless ways. Regulations forbid people to use their property as they wish, bureaucrats extort enormous fees from developers in exchange for building permits, and police departments snatch personal belongings on the suspicion that they were involved in crimes. In the case of Kelo v. New London, the Supreme Court even declared that government may seize homes and businesses and transfer the land to private developers to build stores, restaurants, or hotels. That decision was met with a firestorm of criticism across the nation. In this, the first book on property rights to be published since the Kelo decision, Timothy Sandefur surveys the landscape of private property in America’s third century. Beginning with the role property rights play in human nature, Sandefur describes how America’s Founders wrote a Constitution that would protect this right and details the gradual erosion that began with the Progressive Era’s abandonment of the principles of individual liberty. Sandefur tells the gripping stories of people who have found their property threatened: Frank Bugryn and his Connecticut Christmas-tree farm; Susette Kelo and the little dream house she renovated; Wilhelmina Dery and the house she was born in, 80 years before bureaucrats decided to take it; Dorothy English and the land she wanted to leave to her children; and Kenneth Healing and his 17-year legal battle for permission to build a home. Thanks to the abuse of eminent domain and asset forfeiture laws, federal, state, and local governments have now come to see property rights as mere permissions, which can be revoked at any time in the name of the “greater good.” In this book, Sandefur explains what citizens can do to restore the Constitution’s protections for this “cornerstone of liberty.”

Download or read book Encyclopedia of Law and Economics written by Jürgen Georg Backhaus and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-02-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Law and Economics deals with the economic analysis of legal relations, legal provisions, laws and regulations and is a research field which has a long tradition in economics. It was lost after the expulsion of some of the leading economists from Germany during 1933 to 1938, but then revived in Chicago. Both the subject of Law of Economics and the need for a concise Encyclopedia is particularly relevant in Europe today. Currently in the European Union there are several different legal cultures: the Anglo-Saxon legal framework, the German legal framework, which for example also includes Greece, and the Roman legal family—three jurisdictions which have to be covered with one and the same theory. In the EU, the task of the European Commission to interact with the various European jurisdictions means different legal cultures collaborating and some degree of harmonization is necessary. The result is an immediate need, if only for the science, to show how a given problem is solved in each legal tradition and jurisdiction. This Encyclopedia provides both a common language and precise definitions in the field, which will be useful in the future to avoid misunderstandings during harmonization of EU Law

Download or read book The New Law and Economic Development written by David M. Trubek and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-08-21 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of essays that identify and analyze a new phase in thinking about the role of law in economic development and in the practices of development agencies that support law reform. The authors trace the history of theory and doctrine in this field, relating it to changing ideas about development and its institutional practices. The essays describe a new phase in thinking about the relation between law and economic development and analyze how this rising consensus differs from previous efforts to use law as an instrument to achieve social and economic progress. In analyzing the current phase, these essays also identify tensions and contradictions in current practice. This work is a comprehensive treatment of this emerging paradigm, situating it within the intellectual and historical framework of the most influential development models since World War II.
Download or read book Property Rights and Economic Development written by Toon van Meijl and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 1999. This book provides a critical analysis of the widespread assumption that the formalisation and standardisation of property rights through state legislation has a positive impact on economic development. It is based on anthropological case studies of land and natural resource rights in Southeast Asia and Oceania. These suggest that the economic impact of the formalisation of property rights is not necessarily positive, certainly not for all categories of peoples. They also suggest that state reform of property rights do not necessarily eliminate the conditions of legal pluralism, but rather add new legal structures to an already complex constellation of property rights and duties. The point of departure for the empirical analyses of the central hypothesis examined in this book is that the practical significance of complex forms of property rights and related socio-economic practices cannot be usefully examined within formalistic, one-dimensional and normatively oriented legalistic or economic approaches. Instead, an anthropoligical approach to law is advocated in order to analyse the complicated, multi-dimensional relationships between property rights and economic development, and their embeddedness in social practice. Based on this approach, the contributions to this book show how different people and institutions attribute different meanings to the various components of property relationships, and how they use them as resources in their everyday lives and social struggles.
