The Benefits of Titling Indigenous Communities in the Peruvian Amazon: A Stated Preference Approach

Sammanfattning

We conduct a discrete choice experiment with leaders of 164 Peruvian Indigenous communities (ICs) to elicit their preferences about and valuation of land titles-to our knowledge, the first use of rigorous stated preference methods to analyze land titling. We find that on average, IC leaders are willing to pay US$35,000-US$45,000 for a title, roughly twice the per community administrative cost of titling; willingness to pay is positively correlated with the value of IC land and the risk of land grabbing; and leaders prefer titling processes that involve Indigenous representatives and titles that encompass land with cultural value.
