Abstract: In this study we show the preliminary results of a series of field experiments with a sample of displaced population and a sample of beneficiaries of land titling programs. We didn't get access to official data, thus land restitution is self-declared by participants. The fieldwork was carried out in Montes de María region in the second half of 2014. Regarding socio-demographic characteristics, beneficiaries are not statistically different from displaced. Beneficiaries show a significant increase in return rate in the trust game. There is no difference in the sanctioning behavior in dictator game with punishment, although a difference in the pattern seems to emerge in the poorest. Finally, there isn't systematic difference in cognitive performance in Raven and Stroop tests. This latter result implies that no significant reduction is achieved in the poverty induced bandwidth effect, coherently with the existing critiques that this program should be coupled with other measures to make it sustainable in the medium run.
