Access to Land

Survey of Land and Real Estate Transactions in the Russian Federation: Statistical Analysis of Selected Hypotheses (January 2007)

This paper analyzes land transactions between municipalities and private businesses based on official data and business surveys in 15 regions of the Russian Federation. The paper shows that many subnational authorities appear to use a combination of high statutory land buy-out prices and administrative barriers to deter land privatization and to offer long-term leases instead. The paper concludes that further reductions in the statutory prices for privatization of land under buildings and elimination of unnecessary administrative barriers should help to encourage further land privatization and the development of a competitive, secondary market in commercial land.
