Evaluating tree planting strategies for effective community erosion control in R. Nyamwamba catchment near Mt Rwenzori, Uganda
REFNo: NS937ES
In this project, we seek to evaluate different community tree planting strategies for success with respect to their social and physical benefits. To do this, we will make biological and physical observations of current and prior tree planting sites.

The role of emotional feedback in the acquisition of culture and the transmission of knowledge in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes)
REFNo: NS965ES
Overall goal - Tackle the impact of affective processes, particularly emotions, in the acquisition of cultural knowledge in wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes). Ultimately, as part of a joint research, decipher the evolutionary roots of how human cultures developed to such a different extent compared to our closest relatives.
Objectives:
- Investigate longitudinally how young chimpanzees acquire knowledge in their first years of life about the environment or their social group through the emotional reactions of their closest kin (their mother).
- Investigate the material side of cultural knowledge transmission: experimentally assess the possibility of measuring the influence of emotional reactions in the mother on the exploration of novel stimuli in young chimpanzees and how this impacts their knowledge acquisition.

The Use and Repair of Capital by Small Enterprises and Economic Growth: Evidence from Uganda
REFNo: SS3846ES
The study aims to generate more knowledge on the economic forces behind repair provision for machines and their effects in Uganda as a whole.
Specifically, it intends to:
(i) Quantify market frictions shaping the availability of repair services for capital used by small enterprises in the milling, coffee bean hulling and commuter motorcycle industries.
a. Analyse the apparent dichotomy between the thriving capital repair market in Kampala and the dearth of timely repair in more remote areas in the country using Luwero as a case study.
b. Understand the business considerations of mechanics in planning where to locate, which machinery to specialise in, and how to acquire customers.
(ii) Examine the impact of the availability of capital repair services on economic growth at the micro and macro levels
a. At a micro level, the study examines the impact of the availability of capital repair services on the growth of small enterprises in the milling, coffee bean hulling and commuter motorcycle industries.
b. At a macro level, using findings on business growth through a simulation, the study examines the impact of the availability of capital repair services on Uganda’s economic growth.
(iii) Make policy simulations and recommendations.
a. Simulate the impact of different policies aimed at overcoming the identified frictions, such as subsidies and benefits to repair personnel, impacting in the price of spare parts, achieved through tariff changes, transportation infrastructure improvements, or quality improvement, and expanded training programs for mechanics.
b. Using the above simulations, formulate policy recommendations for the Ugandan government. As an example, the price of spare parts is a crucial variable measured in our survey. One way the government can lower the price of spare parts is through lowering tariffs. Our simulations will make predictions about the economic value of such a tariff policy, allowing us to make a recommendation as to whether such a policy should be pursued.
