A unique dataset from Bangladesh finds that tenure security is associated with greater topsoil conservation and lower human capital investment. Therefore, there exists a tradeoff between these two modes of transfer. We suggest that increased public expenditure on schooling, which substitutes private expenditure, may lower the pressure on land and soil resources.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"person_name\">Eskander, Shaikh M.S.U.<\/span> and <span class=\"person_name\">Barbier, Edward B.<\/span> (2017) <em>Tenure security, human capital and soil conservation in an overlapping generation rural economy.<\/em> Ecological Economics, 135 . pp. 176-185.
