The research aims to understand how SME structure and investment relate to poverty rates in Uzbekistan's transition economy.
Analyzed cross-regional data from 14 regions in Uzbekistan (2023–2024)
Used heteroskedasticity-robust ordinary least squares regressions
Assessed associations between poverty rates and SME indicators including density, investment intensity, and industrial specialization.
Higher SME density is significantly associated with lower poverty rates
Increased SME investment shares correlate with reduced poverty
Industrial specialization shows no measurable effect on poverty outcomes.

Khursanaliyev et al. (2026) studied this question.
