| Tiivistelmä: | The authors examine the development of property rights to land on the frontier in the Brazilian Amazon. Based on survey data, they find that: land further from markets is low valued and less likely to have title; settlers who occupy the frontier have less human and physical capital than infra-frontier settlers; settlers perceive titles to land as raising land values and expend considerable resources to obtain title; as settlements mature, land markets develop and those with low opportunity costs sell, while those with high opportunity costs remain; and the development of land markets enables settlers to accumulate wealth. |
