Three decades of land reform in Kazakhstan

Working notes · impact evaluation

What thirty years of rayon-level data say about decollectivization, share distribution, and the move to private title.

Working notes on the rayon-level impact evaluation. The paper itself is still in progress; this page is where the data assembly and the interim findings live.

What the data covers

Thirty years of rayon-level administrative statistics for roughly 200 units, joined to geospatial measures of land cover, climate, and livestock production. The panel starts before decollectivization and runs through the move to individual ownership and use.

Interim findings

Placeholder. Replace with the results worth showing before publication — the descriptive series, the identification strategy, and whatever the reader should take away if they never read the paper.
