Land is a valuable resource for agrarian households displaced by conflict. It is crucial for boosting consumption and poverty reduction (Keswell/Carter 2014; Zhu et al. 2016a, b). With the proper support of land, refugees can contribute to their hosts’ economic growth and development rather than being a burden (Kreibaum 2016) by improving their productive capacity (Zhu et al. 2016a, b). Land transfers to poor households boost their consumption by 25 percent (Keswell/Carter 2014). Zhu et al. (2016a, b) also show that the marginal benefit of providing refugees with land besides development aid significantly increases refugees’ impacts on local incomes by a range of $92–$205. Despite the significant effect of land access, a substantial proportion of households emerging from conflict or displaced by conflict lack access and ownership rights to use land (Kreibaum 2016).

摘要

Land is a valuable resource for agrarian households displaced by conflict. It is crucial for boosting consumption and poverty reduction (Keswell/Carter 2014; Zhu et al. 2016a, b). With the proper support of land, refugees can contribute to their hosts’ economic growth and development rather than being a burden (Kreibaum 2016) by improving their productive capacity (Zhu et al. 2016a, b). Land transfers to poor households boost their consumption by 25 percent (Keswell/Carter 2014). Zhu et al. (2016a, b) also show that the marginal benefit of providing refugees with land besides development aid significantly increases refugees’ impacts on local incomes by a range of $92–$205. Despite the significant effect of land access, a substantial proportion of households emerging from conflict or displaced by conflict lack access and ownership rights to use land (Kreibaum 2016).
