Property rights refer to the legal rights that individuals have in relation to their possessions or property. These rights typically include the right to possess, use, transfer, and exclude others from one's property. Property rights are considered essential for the functioning of a market economy and are often seen as a key determinant of economic growth and development. Research in the area of property rights examines how the legal framework surrounding property ownership affects economic outcomes, such as investment, innovation, and efficiency. This research may explore the impact of property rights on economic growth, income inequality, resource allocation, and the protection of individual freedoms. Additionally, studies in this area may also focus on the legal and institutional structures that facilitate or hinder secure property rights, as well as the role of property rights in areas such as land tenure, intellectual property, and environmental conservation.
