- W2183376280 abstract "This paper explores the eects of dierent descent rules on human capital accumulation. In a context where parents are constrained in the possibility of passing land on to their children (e.g., because it is considered property of the extended family, or clan), investment in their children’s human capital might not be optimal. We focus on matrilineal inheritance rules and exploit a policy experiment in Ghana, the introduction of the 1985 Intestate Succession Law. The Law introduced minimum quotas for the land that fathers can devolve on their children through intestacy, substantially reducing the share going to the matriclan. In our setting, the Law allowed parents to move closer to the unconstrained optimum. We nd evidence that, compared to the other patrilineal ethnic groups in Ghana (unaected by the Law), children in matrilineal groups exposed to the reform received signicantly less education.
