The nature of the firm revisited: Documenting Relational Contracts within and between firms in Uganda
REFNo: SS3360ES
Our end objective is to shed light on the constraints that prevent a myriad of micro-entrepreneurs from turning into salaried workers hired by firms. This would contribute to our understanding of structural change and how it fundamentally hinges on a transformation in the organization of labor (Bandiera et al. 2022). Moreover, we aim to investigate whether the evidence points to the existence of multiple equilibria and, if so, what the transition phase of moving from one equilibrium to another involves. In doing this, we will also shed light on the role that policymakers can play in creating coordination devices to select the “good equilibrium,In this proposal, we seek to deepen our understanding of the dynamics and payoffs that govern relational contracts in different industries operating in Kampala, Uganda. This will enhance our knowledge of the barriers to firm growth and specialization in developing countries, a well-known puzzle in the literature on structural transformation and growth (Hsieh and Olken 2014). In particular, by documenting the nature of the relationships between and within firms, we aim to understand the organizational frictions that prevent firms from merging, a necessary condition for countries’ structural transformation. ,

EVALUATING THE FEASIBILITY OF PLASMA SEPARATION CARDS (PSC) AS AN ADDITIONAL SPECIMEN TYPE FOR THE ALINITY M HIV-1 ASSAY
REFNo: HS5963ES
The primary objectives of this protocol are to:
1) prospectively enrol and collect capillary PSC and venous PSC from subjects undergoing routine viral load monitoring at ART clinics, from subjects undergoing HIV-1 screening, and from subjects undergoing testing for CD4 counts. Note that plasma will also be collected and tested from each individual as part of routine test of record HIV-1 testing at CPHL.
2) perform testing of the PSC and plasma specimens using the Alinity m HIV-1 assay.
3) assess the following key performance attributes of the Alinity m HIV-1 assay testing PSC as a specimen type:
o correlation between Alinity m HIV-1 viral load from PSC and Alinity m HIV-1 viral load plasma
o clinical sensitivity and specificity for Alinity m HIV-1 viral load from PSC based on the agreement between Alinity m HIV-1 PSC results and Alinity m HIV-1 plasma results
o misclassification rates by Alinity m HIV-1 PSC results above and below the clinical threshold based on Alinity m HIV-1 plasma results
o suppression rates in participants based on Alinity m HIV-1 plasma and PSC results
The secondary objectives of the protocol are to:
1) Following Alinity m HIV-1 PSC testing, if the data analysis described above indicates promising performance and if sufficient left-over PSC spots are available, remaining PSC may be tested with another HIV-1 viral load test for which PSC is a claimed sample type (e.g., cobas HIV-1 Quantitative nucleic acid test for use on the cobas 6800/8800 Systems).
2) PSC results for the additional testing (if performed) will be analyzed for correlation to plasma results, clinical sensitivity and specificity, misclassification rates, and suppression rates to further determine if Alinity m PSC performance is equivalent to other HIV-1 testing technology.
