The report reviews three main arguments for land titling and their relevance for Madagascar in order to provide policy implications and evaluations. The first is that land titling serves as protection against expropriation. Second, titles may also facilitate land transactions.

The report concludes that it is not obvious that expanded land titling, or community-based land registration, constitutes the best route to attaining distributional objectives, since wealth is increasing in landholdings. A cost benefit analysis based on the findings suggest that it would not be economical to expand the system of formal titling in rural Madagascar and that the three main arguments do not justify maintaining this system. 2013-03-12T18:00:08Z 2013-03-12T18:00:08Z 2006-06 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2006/06/16275243/madagascar-land-titles-investment-agricultural-productivity-madagascar-poverty-social-impact-analysis http://hdl.handle.net/10986/12661 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Other Rural Study Economic & Sector Work Africa Madagascar
