Evaluating an Agrarian Reform Policy
An economist is evaluating an agrarian reform policy. Before the reform, tenant farmers had to give 50% of their harvest to the landowner and had little long-term security on the land. The new policy legally grants the farmers a 75% share of the crop and protects their tenancy rights, making them inheritable. The economist declares the policy a major success because it simultaneously improved both 'efficiency' and 'equity'.
Based on the economic principles of incentives, explain the two distinct outcomes the economist is likely referring to and the causal mechanism through which the reform would have produced them.
