In recent times there has been a renewed interest in relationships between redistribution, growth, and welfare. Land reforms in developing countries are often aimed at improving the poor's access to land, although their effectiveness has often been hindered by political constraints on implementation. In this paper we use panel data on the sixteen main Indian states from 1958 to 1992 to consider whether the large volume of legislated land reforms have had an appreciable impact on growth and poverty. We argue that such land reforms have been associated with poverty reduction.
近年来,人们对再分配、增长和福利之间关系的兴趣再度上升。发展中国家的土地改革通常旨在改善贫困人口对土地的获取,尽管其有效性常常受到实施过程中政治限制的阻碍。在本文中,我们使用1958年至1992年间印度十六个主要邦的面板数据,来探讨法律规定的土地改革是否对经济增长和贫困产生了显著影响。我们认为,这类土地改革与减贫之间存在关联。
