Land titling in Madagascar not economical, does not benefit distributional objectives.
The report looks at land titling in Madagascar, where different land ownership systems exist. It explores how titling can protect against land seizure, make land transactions easier, and help access formal credit. However, the study suggests that expanding formal land titling may not be the best way to address wealth distribution in rural Madagascar. The cost-benefit analysis shows that it may not be cost-effective to expand the formal titling system in rural areas, and the three main arguments for land titling may not be enough to support keeping the current system.
