Abstract
In this study, we examine whether participating in an asset building intervention leads to higher perceived household economic stability among a group of Ugandans. After controlling for possible selection bias using propensity score matching, perceived household economic stability is tested using difference-in-differences. Results suggest that participating in the asset intervention has a statistically significant positive effect on the treatment group's perceived household economic stability. Policy and research implications are discussed.Asset building Uganda Propensity score matching Difference-in-Difference
