Land conflict on farm Productivity in sub-Sahara Africa

By Akama Erick Maiko

The work contained in this book provides empirical evidence for the channels through which exposure to land conflicts affect agricultural productivity in Liberia. More specifically, the study answers three research questions: First, what household and farm characteristics influences land conflict in a post-war developing country; second, what is the impact of exposure to land conflict on long term and short term crop productivity and third, what is the impact of exposure to land conflict on farmer's investment choice decisions in farm inputs. To achieve these, the utilizes three econometric estimation techniques: OLS, Binary Logit model and Two-Stage Residual Inclusion Model and data from two sources: Household Income Expenditure Survey (HIES) of Liberia and an administrative data obtained from the Land Commission of Liberia on pending court cases related to land conflict at the county level in the period the survey was conducted.
