We use data from Vietnam to identify factors conducive to the development of land markets and to assess potentially differential impacts of rental and sales.

The fact that secure land rights significantly increase supply of land to the rental market suggests that government has a key role in facilitating emergence and functioning of efficiency-enhancing land markets. 2012-03-30T07:33:43Z 2012-03-30T07:33:43Z 2008 Journal Article Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics 03059049 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/5620 EN http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank Journal Article Vietnam
