Collective property leads to household investments: lessons from land titling in Afro-Colombian communities

In the developing world, collective land titling has become an important tool for recognizing the historical presence of ethnic communities and safeguarding their rights to occupy and manage their territories. However, little is known about the average impact of these titling processes on the well-b...

description In the developing world, collective land titling has become an important tool for recognizing the historical presence of ethnic communities and safeguarding their rights to occupy and manage their territories. However, little is known about the average impact of these titling processes on the well-being of these communities. In this paper we attempt to estimate the impact of collective land titling in territories inhabited by Afro-descendent communities in Colombia. Using an Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) estimation, we compare rural districts in titled areas with rural districts in untitled areas that are similar in all the relevant observable characteristics. We find that the collective titling process in the Chocó region has caused an increase in average household per capita income, larger investments in housing, higher attendance rates among children in primary education, and a decrease in housing overcrowding. Our results suggest that collective land titling creates a more secure natural resource base and a longer time horizon for households in collective territories, which leads to investment in their private physical and human capital.

Sin embargo, poco se sabe sobre el impacto promedio de estos procesos de titulación sobre el bienestar de estas comunidades. En este trabajo se intenta estimar el impacto de la titulación colectiva de los territorios habitados por comunidades afrodescendientes de Colombia. Utilizando un análisis de la estimación de la covarianza (ANCOVA), comparamos veredas rurales en áreas tituladas con veredas rurales de las zonas no tituladas que son similares en todas las características observables relevantes. Encontramos que el proceso de titulación colectiva en la región del Chocó ha generado un aumento del ingreso per cápita promedio de los hogares, mayores inversiones en vivienda por habitante, índices de asistencia más altos en la enseñanza primaria entre los niños, y una disminución en el hacinamiento de la vivienda. Nuestros resultados sugieren que la titulación colectiva de la tierra crea una base más segura de los recursos naturales y un horizonte de tiempo más largo para las familias en los territorios colectivos, lo que conduce a la inversión privada en capital físico y humano.40 páginasapplication/pdfengUniversidad de los Andes, Facultad de Economía, CEDEDocumentos CEDE No. 13 Mayo de 2016https://ideas.repec.org/p/col/000089/014573.htmlCollective property leads to household investments: lessons from land titling in Afro-Colombian communitiesLa propiedad colectiva mejora las inversiones del hogar: lecciones de la titulación de tierras a comunidades afro-colombianasDocumento de trabajoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_8042http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Texthttps://purl.org/redcol/resource_type/WPAfro-descendantsCollective propertyColombiaEthnic communityLand titlingPropiedad de la tierra - Investigaciones - Chocó (Colombia) - Modelos matemáticosAfrocolombianos - Tenencia de la tierra - Chochó (Colombia) - Modelos matemáticosDerecho de propiedad - Chocó (Colombia)Q15, Q24, R52, N36, N56Facultad de EconomíaPublicationTHUMBNAILdcede2016-13.pdf.jpgdcede2016-13.pdf.jpgIM Thumbnailimage/jpeg34792https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/702a8194-3ed9-4720-a51f-dbc4e5d728c1/download2307fa9d43ae907178bc9c7d5d372466MD55TEXTdcede2016-13.pdf.txtdcede2016-13.pdf.txtExtracted texttext/plain101826https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/2de200ef-3258-441e-aaf9-998b1ada0bc3/downloadb51d39783397adca3f988eae68a9ba4eMD54ORIGINALdcede2016-13.pdfdcede2016-13.pdfapplication/pdf384852https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/f69c786a-37e2-4b94-a4ab-f165696a70e6/downloada0a0aae19e5ad34398912a5a3e9c1b9fMD511992/8644oai:repositorio.uniandes.edu.co:1992/86442024-06-04 15:27:51.827http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/open.accesshttps://repositorio.uniandes.edu.coRepositorio institucional Sénecaadminrepositorio@uniandes.edu.co
