Urban Titling Project
The Urban Titling Project explores the impact of registry infrastructure improvements, direct assistance to citizens and technical upgrades on property transaction expediency. The project surveyed Mongolian citizens engaging in selected property transactions, and monitored the time and monetary costs associated with each transaction. A different set of citizens will be surveyed once all improvements are implemented to determine the impact of this intervention.

Peri-Urban Rangeland Management (PURP)
Mongolia’s livestock has more than doubled since the 1990’s, degrading grazing lands and other common-use infrastructure, which in turn reduced herder income. PURP aims to mitigate overgrazing damage and improve herder welfare by encouraging sustainable land-management practices, leasing out private rangeland, and assisting with infrastructure construction. PURP’s impact on herder incomes and rangeland productivity will be assessed by comparing participating herders with those in similar circumstances that did not.

Vocational Education Project (TVET) The Vocational Education Project (TVET) seeks to increase employment and income amongst marginally employed Mongolian workers thorough a modernized vocational education system. This includes better trained teachers, strengthened career guidance services, and a labor market information system. The analysis exploits the lottery-based admission system to TVET schools, and will track program participants over several years to assess the long-term impacts of this project.
