The study identifies measures that have created property rights in the Danish, Dutch and UK fishery sector. Property in this respect is not considered as an asset in the stock of fish but as a stream of benefits, resulting from the right to fish. The limited access to the fishery by the vessel licence and by the recognition as a commercial fisherman have created two forms of property rights in the Danish fishery. In the Netherlands, the national TACs for the individual species have been transformed into transferable individual quota (ITQs).

This paper uses three-generation retrospective data from the rural Philippines toexamine the role of the extended family, proxied by alternative measures ofgrandparent coresidence, on investments in children. An extension of the wealthmodel of intergenerational transfers shows that extended family resources may affecttransfers to children if parents are credit constrained. Family-level unobservables areimportant in determining the allocation of education and land between sons anddaughters. Both parent and grandparent pre-marriage wealth affect children’scompleted schooling levels.

Land distribution in Latin America is characterized by striking inequality. Notwithstanding the emergence of modern structures in some regions, a few huge land holdings are found alongside a large number of small ones. This situation has long been considered undesirable for reasons of social equity as well as for reasons of efficiency. The topic remains high on the political agenda. The ultimately disappointing results of past redistributive reforms have caused contemporary policy-makers to search for alternatives.

La distribución de la tierra en América Latina se caracteriza por una notable asimetría. A pesar de que han surgido estructuras modernas en algunas regiones, junto a un número reducido de extensas propiedades se encuentra un gran número de unidades pequeñas, situación que desde hace tiempo se considera indeseable por razones de equidad y eficiencia. El tema sigue ocupando un lugar preferente en la agenda política. La frustración causada por los resultados de las reformas realizadas en el pasado con fines redistributivos ha llevado a las autoridades a buscar otras alternativas.

Considers the cultural dimension of applying the land information system (LIS) concept to lands held under customary land tenure. The article recognizes that the LIS concept has been developed primarily to serve the needs of countries with a western-style land market where individual land rights are the norm. However, many countries where customary landholdings exist, or predominate, are also interested in establishing LISs to manage their land resources better. The article has three main sections.
