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.

The gendered price of precarity. Young women navigating workplace sexual harassment.
REFNo: SS608ES
Principal aim
The principal aim of the project is to contribute to an understanding of the processes of empowerment of young females in response to (vulnerability to) WSH, in order to inform policy directions and civil society efforts aimed at empowering young workers.
Specific objectives are:
1) To contribute to a better understanding of processes of gaining voice and empowerment in response to WSH in different precarious labour settings, by highlighting variation between the formal and informal sector.
2) To contribute to empirical knowledge about WSH in sectors for which limited research exists, and from a youth perspective.
3) To raise awareness among relevant policy actors about the specific conditions that create vulnerability to WSH for young women working in selected formal and informal sectors, and help them design strategies to address this within employment interventions.
4) To contribute to policy development for addressing sexual harassment in the informal sector, in support of implementing Article 8 of ILO Convention 190.
5) To contribute to the development of an ‘everyday language’ in local vernacular in Uganda and Bangladesh, which policy actors, civil society, and young women can comfortably use to articulate WSH.
