L’importance de chacun de ces deux circuits diffère généralement selon le niveau de développement économique du pays.

Piecing together an economic puzzle
Manuals & GuidelinesOctober, 2010Zimbabwe, Zambia, South Africa, Malawi, Lesotho, BotswanaThe handbook introduces key economic and related concepts explaining the functioning of urban land markets. By introducing key classical economic concepts, the handbook provides foundational economic terms that are often referred to in relation to urban land markets. In doing this, we do not imply that African land markets should or ought to 'fit' into neo-classical economic theories, nor do we propose that 'perfect' markets exist.
