土地登记和所有权的使用权保障，使用正规信贷，农作物产量和土地集中的影响进行了分析，从家庭和地块数据在四个肯尼亚网站。结果表明，登记和产权计划有一个微弱的影响，农民的土地权利，信贷使用和条款，作物产量，或集中的土地持有。结论是，取得所有权是为了加强权利保障，而不是为了增加农业生产。稀缺的政府资源最好用于提供更好的基础设施和市场机会，这也会促进对所有权的更大需求。
Effects of land registration and title on security of tenure, use of formal credit, crop yields, and land concentration are analyzed from household and plot data in four Kenyan sites. Results indicate that the registration and titling program had a weak impact on perceived land rights of farmers, credit use and terms, crop yields, or concentration of land holdings. The conclusion is that titles are acquired for enhancing security of rights rather than for increasing agricultural production. Scarce government resources are best targeted towards providing better infrastructure and market opportunities, which should also foster a greater demand for titling.
