Small Firm Diaries with carpenters in Uganda
REFNo: SS919ES
The main objective of this research is to understand the frictions in the market for outputs that hamper the growth of small-scale carpenters in Uganda. We will write a descriptive paper that outlines the frictions we observed. Given the large number of programs targeting MSMEs to foster employment growth in low-income countries, the recommendations that will emerge from our project will be useful to policy makers operating at local, national and supra-national levels.
The second objective is designing an intervention tailored to remove the most important friction we observed in the market for outputs. We will test this intervention using a randomized control trial and will estimate its causal effect on the growth of small-scale carpenters. Growth will be measured through changes in revenues, profits, productivity and employment. This should be informative to both academics and policy makers as well. The intervention is not yet defined, as we want to use the data to identify the most prominent friction in the market for outputs that limits the growth of carpenters. We will request an amendment to this IRB as soon as it has been designed.
The final objective is assembling unique data on small-scale carpenters in Uganda. As detailed in the methodology subsection below, we will create two unique panels that will allow us to map a complete, real-time characterization of the performance of small enterprises, decision-making and shock responses of entrepreneurs, inputs’ usage and business relationships, including partner-specific trade interactions. These datasets are instrumental to accomplish the first two objectives: it provides the information needed to understand the frictions in the markets for outputs (main objective) and to define the intervention (objective 2). We list the datasets as a separate objective, as these will become public and can thus be used by policy makers, other researchers and students as well.

Analysis of past and projected future land use change and its impact on sediment fluxes in the Rwizi catchment
REFNo: NS147ES
. Firstly, the project aims at strengthening the academic research capacity at the universities of Mbarara and Gulu (Uganda) by means of the training of two PhD-researchers and several postdoctoral researchers in the field of integrated watershed management. Secondly, the project will develop fundamental research on the, hitherto largely overlooked, coupling between demographic developments on the one hand, and the degradation of soil and water resources on the other hand. Thirdly, the results from this fundamental research will be translated into landscape transformation models that will allow land managers and policymakers to evaluate alternative devel-opment pathways for the catchment.
