Abstract
We conduct a statistical analysis of agrarian change in Maoist influenced districts of Nepal. Nepal Living Standards Survey data from 1995, prior to the Maoist insurgency, and 2003, at the height of insurgency, is applied to analyze landdistribution and agricultural wages. We find indications that some landlords have collaborated with the Maoists and have been able to accumulate land. In general it appears that households move away from Maoist controlled villages, or split the landin expectation of a stricter land ceiling. We find no Maoist influence on agricultural wage
