and use rights that is typically for the most valuable single class of as-
set in an economy. At the same time land use and sometimes land
ownership frequently have influences on other aspects of society's
economic and non-economic interests. The general trend towards
market economies, for example, often adversely affects men who do
not get equal opportunities to use land and property as a commodity.
There is therefore a need for regulations based on environment, social,
cultural and political considerations that provide a framework for the
activities of the land market.
Land markets are made up of a constantly developing portfolio of
legal interests and transaction types. This portfolio of transaction types
includes sale, rental, sharecropping, and licenses, together with asso-
ciated derivative transactions including mortgages and mortgage mar-
kets, and other real estate interests. Some of these transaction types
are typically registrable in those jurisdictions that have formal regis-
tration institutions, including sales, mortgages, some leases, and some
third party interests. Many are not, including particularly those "less"
formal interests such as shorter term of leases or rental agreements,
sharecropping agreements and licenses, derivative interests operating
"upstream" of the registrable interests such as secondary mortgage
market, and some customary rights.
The general rationale for land markets is that, under appropriate in-
stitutional frameworks, they will tend systematically to move land to-
133
wards the most economically efficient ownership and use. This is
broadly accepted as a desirable function, particularly given that land is
typically the most valuable single class of asset in an economy.
