This article examines the impact of the land reforms undertaken in Zambia and Zimbabwe on agricultural development.

The authors use data from Ethiopia to
empirically assess determinants of participation in land

of households' expectations regarding future

The authors use a large data set from
Ethiopia that differentiates tenure security and
transferability to explore determinants of different types
