Resumo(s)
This paper investigates the impact of property rights on household investments in Quelimane,
Mozambique. Using a sample of 3,430 residents surveyed within the period 2021-2023, we
employ Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and Two-Stage Least Squares (2SLS) analyses, the
latter using proximity to properties titled under a 2012 Millennium Challenge Account program
as an instrumental variable The findings reveal that property rights ownership significantly
increases the number of household assets, elevates the likelihood of investing in reliable
energy, and improves the quality of roofing. Additionally, secure property rights boost
educational expenditures and reduce educational deficits among cohabitants.
