Abstract: Abstract Many environmental problems such as soil degradation and forest depletion can be characterized as being a result of incomplete, inconsistent, or non-enforced property rights (Bromley and Cernea, 1989). It has been long observed that easily transferable and secure property rights have been identified as a key element to bring about higher levels of investment and access to credit, to facilitate the reallocation of production factors to maximize allocative efficiency in resource use, and to allow economic diversification and growth (Deininger and Jin, 2006; Place, 2009).
