N2 - Two agricultural economists examine the impact of a series of institutional changes during the 1990s on patterns of land ownership, farm income, crop specialization, and overall agricultural output in Turkmenistan. More specifically, the changes investigated entail the distribution of state-held irrigated land to private plots in 1990-1992, allocation of land to independent private farmers in 1993-1996, and the conversion of collective and state farms to associations of private leaseholders in 1996-1997. The study is based on official government statistics and the authors' survey of private farmers (2001) and leaseholders in peasant associations (2002).
