This paper analyzes whether price incentives can help address both economic and gender inequality in land tenure formalization in Tanzania. The experiment results suggest that prices are a key obstacle to a broader inclusion of low-income households and women in the land registry. The authors conclude that some degree of pro-poor and pro-women price discrimination could provide a useful instrument for broader economic and gender equality in developing countries.
