CHAPTER 5 CONCLUDING REMARKS
5.4 Suggestions for future studies
The data constraints and the empirical findings provided in this thesis may warrant further efforts to improve data quality and availability and to undertake a deeper quantitative analysis. Because most of the existing data on property rights consist of a bundle of property rights aspects, such as physical, intellectual, and institutional arrangements of property rights registration and transfer, for instance. Separating individual elements of private property rights, for example, agricultural land rights from the rest would make analytical tasks much easier to delink their respective potential impact on an outcome variable in empirical works. The standardising the measurement of land property rights security and household food insecurity indicators in future household surveys could be useful.
Future works that examine impact of individual aspects of property rights on an outcome in question can be beneficial. The future research should use large panel data for an individual country case, in addition to the multi-country analysis when data become available. Similarly, future research on cost-benefit analysis of irrigation and flood- control interventions in developing economies would also be valuable.
