Livelihood and Employment Sustainability among Youth with Disabilities in Rural Uganda
REFNo: SS2038ES
This research documenting young people’s everyday livelihood experiences over an extended period will be exploratory, but several theoretical concepts (e.g., livelihood framework, quality of life, sense of economic empowerment) inform the research questions and variables or processes to be explored. Changes to individual circumstances or experiences will not be evaluated through use of a control group, but by longitudinal analysis based on retrospective techniques (e.g., work history and livelihood narrative) and prospective techniques over the 16-month study:
(a) What socio-economic changes have been experienced by youth with disabilities since enrolment into the economic empowerment programme?
• Has participation in the programme enabled the young men and women with disability to change or undertake paid work activities and livelihood strategies?
• Has participation in the programme led to changes in the participant’s and family’s intra-household relationships and social networks?
• Has participation in the programme enabled the participant to improve and invest in asset portfolios and their management?
(b) What is the participant’s experience of peer research – either as the researched or the researcher? What factors in their daily lives influence their ability to engage in, co-create and co-deliver research with professional researchers?
(c) How does participation in an economic empowerment programme affect young people’s outlook and strategies for the future in this setting?
(d) To what extent is participation in an economic empowerment programme and improved employability prospects modifying stigma as it manifests in the participant’s social relationships?
(e) From the above, how does participation in an economic empowerment programme affect the participant’s quality of life and sense of well-being?

The economic impact of tax compliance interventions
REFNo: SS1699ES
This study focuses on three problems.
The first problem is documenting what costs companies incur when receiving different compliance actions. While anecdotal evidence suggests these could be substantial, there has, to the best of our knowledge, not been no systematic survey documenting the costs incurred by companies.
The second problem is estimating where to optimally target what compliance actions bearing in mind the costs to companies and spillover effects. This involves three steps, 1) estimate the impact of compliance actions on the targeted company, 2) estimate the spillover effects of these compliance actions on the targeted company’s’ trading partners, 3) conduct heterogeneity analyses to understand which groups of taxpayer experience the highest/lowest impact. Gaining a good understanding of this problem will help increase the benefit-cost ratio of enforcement interventions.
Finally, if we find that firms change their tax filings after receiving a compliance intervention, we will seek to understand what drives this change in behavior. Theoretically, the mechanism behind a firms’ response is unclear. Firms could respond because they update their beliefs about the likelihood of being caught for tax evasion, because they realize that being caught is costlier, or because the intervention imposes a financial burden on the company mechanically change the amount of taxes they pay.
