The study investigates the global impact of land property rights on land use efficiency (LUE), as measured by the key indicator for United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 11.3.1, namely Land Consumption Rate to Population Growth Rate. By utilizing human-land change data from 165 countries spanning the period between 1990 and 2020, we have developed a fixed effects model and employed legal origins as an instrumental variable to examine the influence of land property rights security on LUE. Our findings demonstrate that the security of land property rights significantly influences LUE, with common law countries exhibiting higher levels of LUE compared to civil law countries while controlling for other variables. Stability in property rights encourages long-term investments in infrastructure and sustainable land management practices, thereby enhancing land productivity and mitigating urban sprawl. Furthermore, safeguarding property rights limits governments' power to expropriate lands, facilitating rational and efficient land transactions that contribute towards achieving Sustainable Development Goals.
本研究调查了土地产权对土地利用效率（LUE）的全球影响，该影响通过联合国可持续发展目标11.3.1的关键指标来衡量，即土地消耗率与人口增长率之比。通过利用1990年至2020年期间165个国家的人地变化数据，我们建立了一个固定效应模型，并采用法律起源作为工具变量，以检验土地产权安全对土地利用效率的影响。我们的研究结果表明，土地产权安全对土地利用效率有显著影响，在控制其他变量的情况下，普通法国家的土地利用效率水平高于民法国家。产权的稳定性鼓励对基础设施进行长期投资和采用可持续的土地管理做法，从而提高土地生产力并缓解城市扩张。此外，保障产权限制了政府征用土地的权力，促进了合理高效的土地交易，有助于实现可持续发展目标。
