Measuring Transformation: Assessing And Improving The Impact Of Microcredit, Susy Cheston, Larry Reed Sep 1999

Measuring Transformation: Assessing And Improving The Impact Of Microcredit, Susy Cheston, Larry Reed

Journal of Microfinance / ESR Review

The question of impact assessment is one that continues to plague microcredit practitioners. Some contend that existing impact assessment studies are meaningless, while others maintain they are absolutely necessary. The authors of this paper advocate a renewed focus on the transformation of clients and their communities, as well as a new impact assessment model to support and document this focus. They outline the key principles for conducting impact audits that include measurement of transformation among clients. They also review a series of practitioner-oriented impact assessment tools and outline future challenges for practitioners, donors, and academics in improving performance through impact …

Microenterprise Development In The Heartland: Self-Employment As A Self-Sufficiency Strategy For Tanf Recipients In Iowa 1993-1998, Salome Raheim, Jason J. Friedman Sep 1999

Microenterprise Development In The Heartland: Self-Employment As A Self-Sufficiency Strategy For Tanf Recipients In Iowa 1993-1998, Salome Raheim, Jason J. Friedman

Journal of Microfinance / ESR Review

There has been a significant interest in the microenterprise movement regarding its effectiveness as a welfare-to-work strategy. A decade's worth of program results, demonstration projects, and research strongly suggest that the benefits of microenterprise development for welfare recipients outweigh the costs and risks. The state of Iowa has been a leader in promoting microenterprise development as a welfare-to-work strategy. Iowa was the first state in the US to incorporate microenterprise-development training as an eligible activity in its welfare-reform program. Since 1993, the Iowa Department of Human Services (IDHS) has contracted with the Institute for Social and Economic Development (ISED), a …

The Impact Of Outcome-Based Assessment On Microenterprise Programs, Margaret A. Johnson, Umasundari Akella, Jule Lalande Sep 1999

The Impact Of Outcome-Based Assessment On Microenterprise Programs, Margaret A. Johnson, Umasundari Akella, Jule Lalande

Journal of Microfinance / ESR Review

The changing environment in the nonprofit sector has subjected microenterprise programs to a new paradigm that emphasizes rationality principles. These principles ask practitioners to increase their outcomes while minimizing costs and to demonstrate that they are doing so with outcome-assessment measurements. This paper presents a case study of what happened to 11 microenterprise programs that adopted outcome assessment. Factors affecting the adoption of outcome assessment were changing norms in the nonprofit sector, demands from state legislators for information on program outcomes, and mandates from funders. A funding formula was implemented; program responses included going along, adopting practices to fit the …

Village Banking Dynamics Study: Evidence From Seven Programs, Judith Painter, Barbara Mknelly Sep 1999

Village Banking Dynamics Study: Evidence From Seven Programs, Judith Painter, Barbara Mknelly

Journal of Microfinance / ESR Review

The primary question examined in this study is whether client loans grow or stagnate over time. Loan growth is important to financial sustainability and is also a proxy for positive impact. The relationship between loan growth and a variety of factors--program loan and savings policies, site selection, membership dynamics--are explored in the context of seven village bank programs. The study concludes that on average, loan size did not stagnant but increased steadily, although at a rate lower than the original village bank model projections. Only programs that allowed non-poverty level loans (loans above US$300) approached the original loan growth rate. …

Are Grameen Replications Sustainable, And Do They Reach The Poor?: The Case Of Card Rural Bank In The Philippines, Hans Dieter Seibel, Dolores Torres Sep 1999

Are Grameen Replications Sustainable, And Do They Reach The Poor?: The Case Of Card Rural Bank In The Philippines, Hans Dieter Seibel, Dolores Torres

Journal of Microfinance / ESR Review

The Grameen Bank in Bangladesh is known worldwide for its success in providing credit to the poor. However, subsequent replications of its methodology in other parts of the world have been less successful. Is there really an infallible solution that works everywhere, and is outreach to the poor compatible with sustainability? A Grameen replicator in the Philippines, the Center for Agriculture and Rural Development (CARD), has recently set itself firmly on the path to sustainability by becoming a formal sector, rural bank—the first credit NGO in the country to do so. During the period, from 1993 to June 1999, CARD's …

The Microcredit Summit's Challenge: Working Toward Institutional Financial Self-Sufficiency While Maintaining A Commitment To Serving The Poorest Families, David S. Gibbons, Jennifer W. Meehan Sep 1999

The Microcredit Summit's Challenge: Working Toward Institutional Financial Self-Sufficiency While Maintaining A Commitment To Serving The Poorest Families, David S. Gibbons, Jennifer W. Meehan

Journal of Microfinance / ESR Review

Institutional financial self-sufficiency (IFS) is necessary for a microfinance institution (MFI) to obtain the large amount of funds required to reach and benefit truly large numbers of the poor and poorest households. There is no necessary trade-off between serving large numbers of the poorest households and the attainment of IFS by an MFI, as proven by the case studies in this paper. Cost-effective identification of the poor and the poorest women is essential to maximizing the effectiveness and efficiency of providing microfinance services to them. If the service is not exclusively for the poor and the poorest, it should be …

Is The Term Premium A Risk Premium?, Louis H. Ederington, Jeremy C. Goh Sep 1999

Is The Term Premium A Risk Premium?, Louis H. Ederington, Jeremy C. Goh

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

This paper explores whether excess holding period returns on long vis-a-vis short-term securities behave in a manner that is consistent with (1) market efficiency, (2) the time-varying-term-premium variant of the expectations hypothesis, and (3) theories of the term premium that view it as a reward for risk bearing. Both traditional and modern theories of the term premium imply that it should evolve fairly slowly over time as attitudes toward risk and/or perceived covariances with wealth or consumption change. This implies that this period's term premium should have some predictive ability for next period's. However, we find that this quarter's ex-post …
