Identifying and Easing Constraints on Microenterprise Location within Kampala, Uganda
REFNo: SS935ES

This project asks whether business relocation within the city could increase profits for microfirms in Kampala, Uganda, and if so, then what frictions (constraints) restrict a firm’s ability to relocate without intervention. Ultimately, this project plans to use a multi-arm randomized experiment to accomplish 3 aims: to detect appetite for business relocation, whether relocation increases profits, and which of the tested frictions might constrain location choice. In the first phase of the research, the project will survey microfirms in Kampala to understand their current locations, how profits vary by location across the city, what aspirations the business owners have with respect to future business growth, and what challenges they perceive to accomplishing business growth.
