Genetics of Glaucoma in High-risk Diverse Populations (GoGLAD) Study
REFNo: HS3427ES
General objective
To apply and critically evaluate the efficacy of genetic-based risk prediction models for glaucoma in an understudied, high-risk, genetically diverse continental African population in Uganda.
Specific objectives
1. To test the feasibility of collecting quality pilot clinical data on glaucoma related phenotypes, genetic data from a unique high-risk diverse population in Uganda.
2. To assess cross-ancestry genetic-based prediction of glaucoma risk in major diverse ancestry populations.

2B - To develop, and calibrate an African ancestry genetic prediction model of glaucoma and implement it in populations of European and African ancestries.
2C- To develop, model and calibrate a cross-ancestry genetic prediction model and apply it in populations of European and African ancestries.
3. To apply artificial intelligence to eye images to characterise ancestral differences in glaucoma risk and evaluate estimation of disease risk and progression.
4. To assess participants’ attitude towards genetic testing for glaucoma.

Pressure to Hire, Technology Adoption, and Productivity:
Experimental Evidence from Uganda
REFNo: SS2013ES
1. The project aims at contributing to several strands of the literature. First, an emerging literature
hasshown how social- and self-image concerns affect the labor market through changesin the labor
supply
2. Our evidence suggests that the reputational concerns associated to hiring and technology
adoption decisions are induced by resource-sharing practices with kin and neighbors.
3. Finally, our work links to the literature on cross-country differences in productivity. Lewis et al.
(1954) observed that developing economies have a large “traditional sector” where marginal
productivity is low and where workers may be compensated above their marginal product through
informal arrangements (see Gollin (2014) for a recent discussion). When wages do not equal
marginal product, workers may be employed in relatively less-productive tasks, resulting in
misallocations. Gollinetal
