Results indicate that rental markets outperform administrative reallocation in terms of efficiency and poverty. Households who have part-time jobs in the off-farm sector are significantly more likely to expect land to be taken away from them through administrative means. Eliminating the scope for administrative land reallocation may thus be a precondition for more vigorous development of the off-farm sector.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOLAND MARKETSMARKET TRANSITIONLAND TRANSFERSLAND RENTADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONSLAND ALLOTMENTLAND REDISTRIBUTIONPOVERTY INCIDENCEJOB DISLOCATION ACCOUNTINGAGRICULTURAL OUTPUTAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTUREARABLE LANDBEST USECAPITAL CONSTRAINTSCULTIVABLE LANDCULTIVATED LANDCULTIVATIONECONOMETRIC EVIDENCEECONOMIC WELFAREEFFECTIVE USEEMPIRICAL EVIDENCEEMPLOYMENTEVICTIONSFARM SIZEGOVERNMENT INTERVENTIONHOUSEHOLDSIMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIESINCOMEINCOME LEVELSINSURANCEIRRIGATED LANDLABOR MARKETSLAND MARKETSLAND OWNERSHIPLAND QUALITYLAND REALLOCATIONLAND REDISTRIBUTIONLAND REFORMLAND REFORMSLAND RENTLAND RENTALLAND RIGHTSLAND SALESLAND TENURELAND TRANSFERSLAND USELANDLORDSLAWSMIGRATIONNATURAL ENVIRONMENTPERFECT INFORMATIONPERVERSE INCENTIVESPOINTSPOLICY DECISIONSPOLICY MAKERSPOPULATION GROWTHPOVERTY LINEPRODUCERSPRODUCTIVITYPROPERTY RIGHTSRENTSSECURE PROPERTY RIGHTSSHARE CROPPINGSHARECROPPINGSOIL QUALITYTAXATIONTRANSACTION COSTSWORKING CAPITALJOB DISLOCATIONACCOUNTING10.1596/1813-9450-2992
