요약Across sub-Saharan Africa, only a small fraction of households possess a formal property right, written title, or deed to their agricultural land. Formal property rights incentive investment, increase land tenure security, and generally benefit households. Nevertheless, low titling rates persist-despite attention from both donor organizations and African governments which has made land titles are available on-demand throughout much of sub-Saharan Africa. Together, these facts illustrate an empirical puzzle within the comparative politics of Africa: why do land titles remain rare, despite their availability and documented benefits?In this dissertation, I provide the contours of an answer to this puzzle. First, I assemble over 60 waves of survey data from 22 African countries to build an empirical understanding of land titling rates. I show that the uptake of land titles varies both across and within African countries. I introduce a geospatial measure of land values and show that household titling rates are higher in areas with higher land values and higher returns to agricultural investment (using fertilizer and planting tree crops). Customary chiefs moderate this relationship. Where land tenure formalization is centralized, strong chiefs impede titling because it erodes their authority; where land tenure authority is devolved, strong chiefs can capture land institutions, and they facilitate titling. I then introduce a case study in Cote d'Ivoire using an original field survey in the Indenie-Djuablin and Haut-Sassandra regions of the country's central forested belt. I process-trace this theory's intermediate steps and show mixed results: strong chiefs facilitate titling. However, all chiefs can capture the village land committees and buttress their authority. Finally, I use a field conjoint experiment in Senegal and Cote d'Ivoire to show that trust in formal institutions or informal institutions does not affect the extent to which households trust land titles themselves.
