A HOUSEHOLD SURVEY
REFNo: HS1391ES
STUDY OBJECTIVES
Broad Objective
The main objective of the baseline and endline surveys is to determine the current status and uptake of immunization services in Living Goods’ focus areas in Kenya and Uganda.
Specific Objectives
The specific objectives of the baseline and endline surveys in Kenya and Uganda are to:
1. Determine the percentage of children (aged 0-59 months) fully vaccinated before and after implementation of the program.
2. Determine the equity or lack thereof in immunization coverage.
3. Assess knowledge, skills (CHWs only) and attitudes of CHWs and caregivers of children aged ≤59 months before and after the intervention.
4. Determine health system factors (stock outs, outreaches, micro-plans, etc.) that facilitate or deter vaccine uptake.

Why do firms in Low-Income Countries grow slowly? An Investigation of Demand Side Mechanisms
REFNo: SS711ES
Why do firms in low-income countries grow slowly? My research will provide new evidence on demand-side constraints, that is the challenges that firms face in building a customer base. Specifically, I will study how limited information on product quality restricts the ability of high-quality firms to attract consumers.
Accessing new customers may be especially difficult in developing countries due to high search costs and the lack of institutions that can enforce quality standards. High search costs make it hard for consumers to learn about the existence and the quality offered by different sellers in the market. At the same time, the lack of institutional capacity to enforce quality standards increases the probability of meeting extremely low-quality sellers in the market, thus reducing consumers’ willingness to try out new firms. This type of frictions significantly restricts the ability of high-quality producers to capture customers from lower-quality firm, allowing for the survival of a mass of small, unproductive businesses in the economy.
Customers’ limited ability to observe goods quality can also lead to discrimination against particular groups. For instance, recent studies have shown that individuals tend to underestimate the ability of women relative to men in male-typed domains. If the quality of goods is hard to observe and customers believe that, on average, men have higher ability than women in male-dominated sectors, female entrepreneurs may face significant discrimination from customers when entering male-dominated, high-productivity industries. This could contribute to gender-based employment segregation, one of the leading causes of gender disparity in the labour market.
The findings from my research will shed light on the mechanisms through which policies aimed at improving information on product quality may stimulate firm expansion and employment creation, as well as reduce gender-based employment segregation in low-income economies.
