Asset-based Microfinance for Microenterprises in Pakistan

Series
CSAE Research Podcasts
Audio Embed
Standard microcredit contracts seem to have modest if any effects on the performance of small firms and no effects on household consumption. Could we construct a better design product to improve on the standard contract?
Researchers discuss their project in Pakistan which explores if alternative contracts do better, and what the effects of offering larger financial products are. You can also find out more about the project on the CSAE website: https://www.csae.ox.ac.uk/asset-based-microfinance-for-microenterprises-in-pakistan#/
