Microcredit And The Rural Poor: A Review Of The Maharashtra Rural Credit Project, Raghav Gaiha Sep 2001

Microcredit And The Rural Poor: A Review Of The Maharashtra Rural Credit Project, Raghav Gaiha

Journal of Microfinance / ESR Review

An attempt is made to review the Maharashtra Rural Credit Project (MRCP)--a microcredit scheme--by focusing on the process of implementation and its implications for targeting, empowerment of women, and trade-off between coverage of the poorest and sustainability of this scheme. Attention is drawn to deficiencies in the design and implementation of this scheme that limit the participation of the poorest and the benefits accruing to them. Moreover, it is argued that there is a risk of overstating the trade-off between the coverage of the poorest and sustainability of the MRCP if these deficiencies are overlooked.

Human Capital Valuation: An Improved Model, Deep Chatterjee, M Kalidas, Kaushik Kundu, Pankaj Gautam, Sumit Shantanu

IIMB Management Review

Human capital is one of the buzzwords of the knowledge society. The concept lay dormant for two centuries after Adam Smith first introduced it, but it was revived in the 1960s by American economists, such as Gary Becker and Jacob Mincer, who then exported it triumphantly around the world. Human capital is a beautifully unifying idea facilitating quantitative analyses. It is an excellent vehicle for framing policy discussions too, whether on schooling, training, or labor market performance. But companies differin the models they use to value human capital. An attempt has been made here to develop a model that can …

What Is Eva?, Joel Stern Sep 2001

What Is Eva?, Joel Stern

IIMB Management Review

There is no way to measure your performance contemporaneously, period by period. The way people try to incentivize net present value is by using stock options or restricted shares or something like that. But we have taken net present value, which is what the accountants call a stock concept, and converted it into a flow concept, one that can be measured contemporaneously year-by-year. We have put the incentives and the tools in place, to reinforce that. So on acquisitions, for example, you will not be the one to drop out of the bidding contest. I will show you how we …

Stern Measures: In Conversation With Joel Stern, S Venkatesh

IIMB Management Review

The financial evaluation tool that his company devised and grew. Elaborating on how it differs from the accountants’ measure of value and is an accurate measure of shareholder value, Stern claimed that EVA was emerging as a strong consulting practice in India, thanks to the sharpness of the quantitative side of the Indian brain. Defending EVA against Prof Zimmerman’s criticism, Stern strongly positioned EVA as a tool for evaluation, incentivization, and strategic decision making

Financial Performance Of Selected Microfinance Institutions: Benchmarking Progress To Sustainability, Michael Tucker Sep 2001

Financial Performance Of Selected Microfinance Institutions: Benchmarking Progress To Sustainability, Michael Tucker

Journal of Microfinance / ESR Review

A few microfinance institutions (MFIs) have implemented best business practices and made the transition to fully regulated financial institutions. Many more are in the process of undertaking this transformation or at least considering it. Rising competition among growing numbers of MFIs for both funding and clients has made improved financial performance a necessity for most if not all MFIs. Financial ratios of 17 Latin American MFIs are compared to benchmark performance ratios for the industry and with commercial Latin American banks. This small sample of data, while useful, also underlines the need for more widespread MFI reporting. Complicating reliance on …
