2025The effects of land privatization on pasture productivity in south-eastern KazakhstanBukin, E., Robinson, S., Petrick, M. · Land Use Policy 158, 107741Satellite evidence that privatized pasture recovers faster than land left in common use.+

Uses the staggered rollout of pasture privatization in south-eastern Kazakhstan as a natural experiment, pairing parcel-level tenure records with a long run of remotely sensed vegetation indices. Privatized parcels show measurably higher productivity than comparable parcels still held in common, with the gap widening over time.
