Les relations entre, d’une part, la nature des droits et la disponibilité d’un titre de propriété, d’autre part, la stimulation du marché foncier, l’investissement ou la productivité des facteurs, restent objets de débats. Cette relation est explorée dans le cas de la politique foncière algérienne qui en 1983 ouvre la voie à la privatisation des terres du domaine privé de l’État. Cet article discute l’impact de cette politique en termes de marchandisation et d’usage productif de la terre, sur la base d’une enquête conduite dans la wilaya de Laghouat.
