   textabstractI investigate how a major institutional reform of property rights over land affects cooperation and trust preferences in a society where agricultural land is the main households' asset. The reform took place in hundreds of West African villages in Benin and consists in registering customary tenure rights over agricultural land that are traditionally characterized by collective property and informal possession. With the reform, registered plots acquire a new legal status akin to private ownership, making it possible to claim property in court and sell or use them as collateral.

   Homeownership, as a storage for housing wealth, is believed to play an increasingly important role in terms of welfare provision.

In this paper we investigate how homeownership and housing wealth moderate the relationship between divorce and subjective wellbeing (life satisfaction, happiness, financial satisfaction).
