Job Description:
Dr. Ali Cheema (LUMS) and Cory Smith (University of Maryland) are looking to hire a research assistant for help with their work on Pakistan's economic history. The work will encompass two overlapping projects. The first focuses on the “canal colony” villages of Punjab and aims to test whether and how political centralization affects long-run economic development, using a policy-based natural experiment in colonial Punjab. When creating new “canal colony” villages in the late 1800s, the number of headmen (lambardar/numberdar) was set according to thresholds based on village area, allowing for quasi-random variation via the regression discontinuity technique. The second explores the functioning of union councils and other local governments in the “Basic Democracies” system of the 1960s. Both projects are thus an excellent fit for those with an interest in development, political economy, Pakistan’s economic history, or applied economics in general.
Any RA on this project will be able to oversee the development of these projects from early stages to completion. The initial phase of work will involve field visits to collect archival, i.e. physical, data which will then be sent for digitization. Subsequent phases will involve cleaning and analyzing the data to verify the existence of the threshold rule and the effects on public goods provision and development.
Qualification:
We are looking for candidates who are able to travel to districts outside Lahore in Punjab and are interested in being part of original scholarship on Punjab’s historical political economy and/or strengthening their quantitative research skills for graduate degrees in social sciences. The position is based at the Mahbub Ul Haq Research Centre at LUMS.

Primary Deliverable:
An original dataset that covers 1) details and 2) ownership of the largest GHG-emitting industrial assets in Pakistan.
Background: Pakistan’s GHG greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions come from point sources, such as coal plants, and more diffuse sources such as livestock. Two sectors account for 87% of all GHG emissions: energy and agriculture. The energy sector contributes 46% of Pakistan's total annual GHG emissions, of which 26% is attributed to electricity consumption, 25% to manufacturing, 23% to transportation, and the remaining 25% to other energy subsectors. Agriculture accounts for 41% of total GHG emissions, of which enteric fermentation (livestock digestion) is the primary contributor (46%).
This research sets out to create an original dataset of GHG assets in the country for analytical purposes so that IGC researchers may better understand the domestic politics of climate mitigation.
Methodology:
1. Collecting and entering online data.
The RA will be required to use publicly available sources to fill a database on Power Plants, Manufacturing and Infrastructure. Many of these are publicly available through the World Bank, Government of Pakistan and other databases.
Power plants: Make a table of all of the power plants with crucial details (installed megawatts, type, district, fuel type, combustion type, tariff, ultimate owner).
Manufacturing: Make a table of the 10 largest manufacturing facilities by revenue that use their own generation of energy using fossil fuels (coal, gas etc).
Transportation: Make a table of the largest vehicle firms with their current details and ultimate ownership
Agriculture: Make a table of the 10 largest firms by revenue in the livestock business, for animals such as cows and sheep (ignore chickens, etc.).
2. Call and visit industry and government for missing data.
This requires familiarity with navigating bureaucracy, engaging with ministers and mid-level bureaucracy.
3. Link these data to ownership.
Compile a table of the firms that own the assets in parts 1-4 with basic details like HQ location, and any obvious linkages to politics, army, etc.
Review asset declarations: Use a proprietary data sheets for previous MP/Senator asset declarations to clean and review data. The researcher will review the data for any assets that correspond to the categories (power plants, manufacturing, transportation, and livestock). Where a link is found, the researcher shall link the data.
Role of the Research Assistant
Sources:
Much of the required information is available from publicly available sources. In some cases, particularly in livestock and manufacturing, the researcher will be required to reach out to industry bodies and firms to collect some information. For this reason, we have allocated significantly more time for these sectors on a per-item basis. Sources (phone call, website, etc.) should be listed in an allocated column in the database.
What to flag:
We need the researcher to flag any information which they have a low level of certainty so that we can make a determination as to whether to include said data in the final analysis. We are also very interested in where ownership is consolidated (between sectors) and particularly where there is a link to politics - such as a linked family member.
The supervisor will provide templates for the spreadsheets
The supervisor will provide templates for the spreadsheets so that the researchers don’t need to design those from scratch.
Working days: 41 (extension possible)
Deadline to Submit Deliverables: 19 December 2023 (first draft, flexible)
Payment: Payment of 50% will be made to the researcher for the first draft (on or before 20 November) with the balance provided upon acceptance of the final draft (50%).
Payment Schedule:
● First draft on or before 20 December (50% of Payment).
● Final draft (50% of Payment)
Qualification Required:
Education
● Master’s degree in economics, environment, energy, social sciences, or agriculture, from LUMS or equivalent.

Project: Levelling the Tax Playing Field; Evidence from Punjab, Pakistan.
About MHRC
The Mahbul ul Haq Research Centre (MHRC) is a Centre of excellence in social science research at the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS). It supports interdisciplinary research, scholarship, and teaching on issues of human development, social exclusion, and inequality across South Asia. Its vision is to co-construct knowledge on critical challenges with a community of scholars, students, practitioners, and social actors to bring about transformative and sustainable change in Pakistan.
Project Overview
The aim of this project is to support the Punjab Revenue Authority’s (PRA) efforts to increase tax collection in the province. Since its establishment in 2012, PRA has generated impressive increases in tax collection underpinned by the implementation of several schemes. These include the rollout of Electronic Invoice Monitoring System (e-IMS) for several sectors like restaurants, which provides real-time electronic monitoring of transactions, and Sales Tax Real-time Invoice Verification (STRIVe) which ensures that no fake input tax credit can be claimed by the taxpayer. e-IMS, combined with STRIVe, lead pre-population of sales tax returns. PRA has taken numerous other measures towards digitization, including online registration, online return filing, collection of taxes through Alternate Delivery Channels, etc.
In view of the increasing importance of greater fiscal space by the provincial government, the challenge for PRA is to build on its past successes in launching new initiatives, in increasing the tax base by bringing in currently untaxed service-providers under the tax net, and in ensuring effective, timely and transparent enforcement. This project involves a collaboration of PRA with a group of researchers (from Harvard, Columbia, LSE, and LUMS) who are at the frontier of the theory and practice of public finance.

About MHRC
The Mahbul ul Haq Research Centre (MHRC) is a Centre of excellence in social science research at the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS). It supports interdisciplinary research, scholarship, and teaching on human development issues, social exclusion, and inequality across South Asia. Its vision is to co-construct knowledge on critical challenges with a community of scholars, students, practitioners, and social actors to bring about transformative and sustainable change in Pakistan.
Project Overview
This project aims to support the Punjab Revenue Authority’s (PRA) efforts to increase tax collection in the province. Since its establishment in 2012, PRA has generated impressive increases in tax collection underpinned by implementing several schemes. These include the rollout of an Electronic Invoice Monitoring System (e-IMS) for several sectors like restaurants, which provides real-time electronic monitoring of transactions, and Sales Tax Real-time Invoice Verification (STRIVe) which ensures that no fake input tax credit can be claimed by the taxpayer. e-IMS, combined with STRIVe, led the pre-population of sales tax returns. PRA has taken numerous other measures towards digitization, including online registration, online return filing, collection of taxes through Alternate Delivery Channels, etc.
Given the increasing importance of greater fiscal space by the provincial government, the challenge for PRA is to build on its past successes in launching new initiatives, increasing the tax base by bringing in currently untaxed service providers under the tax net, and ensuring effective, timely and transparent enforcement. This project involves a collaboration of PRA with a group of researchers (from Harvard, Columbia, LSE, and LUMS) who are at the frontier of the theory and practice of public finance.
Position Description
The Research Associate will be responsible for the following main tasks:
- Maintain data, conduct data analysis and run regression models.
- Understand and document the existing data structure and collection mechanism used by the PRA.
- Coordinate with government partners to obtain administrative data and troubleshoot data-related issues.
- Develop and implement data-sharing protocols with government partners.
- Oversee the designing, pilot testing, and conducting of any administrative data collection exercise or survey based on discussions with the research team.
- Supervise the monitoring and cleaning of survey data and administrative data provided by government partners for accuracy, completeness and quality.
- Establish quality assurance mechanisms for resolving problems and issues in the data.
- Assist the research team in providing overall strategic direction to the project.
- Assist the research team to build relationships and coordinate with project stakeholders including the funders, departments in the Government, multilateral organizations, as well as partners in the private and non-profit sectors.
- Provide periodic project updates to the research team or government departments.
- Handle administrative work including reporting, budgeting and tracking of financials and project activities.
- Assist the research team in developing project deliverables and knowledge products.
- Carry out other duties as per the needs of the project.
Qualifications
Essential:
- Undergraduate or master’s degree in economics, Public Policy, Data Science or a related discipline.
- Strong academic research, writing, analytical, and communication skills.
- Minimum of 1 year of relevant experience in data analysis and cleaning.
- Demonstrated knowledge of data management of large datasets as well as data collection, quality checks of data, analysis of data and presentation of data.

Job Description:
Position Purpose
This project seeks to tackle escalating water-related conflicts in small lake systems. The selected study area is the Namal Valley in Mianwali, Pakistan which is home to the Namal Dam Reservoir. The conflict surrounding the lake is driven by competing interests of stakeholders (for instance agricultural water demand of downstream farmers versus flood risk control of the upstream villagers). Important drivers of risk include (among others) the absence of a scientific information base in decision-making for reservoir operations, deteriorating infrastructure, unpredictable weather patterns, and an apparent lack of empathy among stakeholders. The primary goal of this project is to mitigate water-related conflicts through a series of targeted interventions designed to understand, analyze, and address the underlying causes of conflict in small lake systems, particularly the Namal Valley. A team of researchers will work together on data collection, socio-hydrological modelling, and the design of serious games to observe individual behaviours in conflict situations.The project will deliver a conflict profiling system, comprehensive stakeholder analysis, educational workshops, and documentary material aimed towards capacity building for
sustainable resolution of water-related conflict in small lake systems. The significance of the project lies in its focus on small lake systems, often overshadowed by research on larger lake systems in hydrology and conflict studies. The potential impact of the planned activities extends beyond the Namal Valley, unlocking vital insights for over 60 small lake systems in the Potohar region and beyond.
Main responsibilities
- The field team lead will be responsible for the design and execution of all data collection activities. These include household surveys, semi-structured interviews, knowledge-sharing workshops, and public gaming sessions.

When creating new “canal colony” villages in the late 1800s, the number of headmen (lambardar/numberdar) was set according to thresholds based on village area, allowing for quasi-random variation via the regression discontinuity technique. The second explores the functioning of union councils and other local governments in the “Basic Democracies” system of the 1960s. Both projects are thus an excellent fit for those with an interest in development, political economy, Pakistan’s economic history, or applied economics in general.
Any RA on this project will be able to oversee the development of these projects from early stages to completion. The initial phase of work will involve field visits to collect archival, i.e. physical, data which will then be sent for digitization. Subsequent phases will involve cleaning and analyzing the data to verify the existence of the threshold rule and the effects on public goods provision and development.
