Instead, credibility assumes that distributional conflict is part and parcel of any property rights arrangement .” For this reason: “ [ O]ne might argue that a steady status is never reached .” See P. Ho, “ The ‘Credibility Thesis’ and its Application to Property Rights: (In)secure Land Tenure and Social Welfare in China ", Land Use Policy , 2014, 40, Sept., p. 16.
