The land transaction (purchase, rentals, and mortgage) is an indicator of land market growth and will be measured using the administrative records at Land Administration Units (LAUs). The \u201cDUAT transaction\u201d time is defined as the time period between DUAT application and issuance by municipality offices and indicator of efficiency in providing land administration services. To achieve this objective, data from two different sources was obtained, including district and municipalities. In the municipalities, data was retrieved from the land administrative offices records in 16 municipalities (9 treatment and 7 control sites). Essentially, records on land registration was retrieved, copied to PDFs and entered into digital form. The second data source is the administrative data obtained from the provincial land administrative offices (SPGCs) in the four provinces in North-Central Mozambique where the Millennium Challenge Account implemented its land tenure project. Note that, data obtained in the districts was in digital form (Access) converted to Stata for analysis.  A total of 11,311 land titles were compiled from the existing records from the two data sources.","coll_dates":[{"start":"1988","end":"1988","cycle":""},{"start":"2014","end":"2014","cycle":""}],"nation":[{"name":"Mozambique","abbreviation":"MOZ"}],"geog_coverage":"Four provinces in central and North Mozambique.","analysis_unit":"Individual land titles.","universe":"A total of about 11,311 indvividual land titles.","data_kind":"Administrative records data [adm]"},"method":{"data_collection":{"time_method":"Time series records from the land cadastre offices.","sampling_procedure":"Data collected to be representative of three distinct groups of municipalities, namely: (1) high demand for DUATs and reasonable local technical capacity; (2) high demand for DUATs and low technical capacity; (3) Low demand for DUATs and reasonable technical capacity.
