High Noon for Microfinance Impact Evaluations: Re-investigating the Evidence from Bangladesh (2012, background): “A number of putatively rigorous studies suggest social and economic benefits from microfinance (Hulme and Mosley, 1996; PnK; Khandker, 1998, 2005; Coleman, 1999; Rutherford, 2001; Morduch and Haley, 2002).”
From Urban to Rural: Lessons for Microfinance from Argentina (2001, background): “Other advances include efforts to revive post-office savings in Africa, raffles for depositors, and the use of roving savings collectors (Rutherford, 2000).”
The demand for flexible microfinance products: lessons from Bangladesh (2002, background): “The poorer the household, the more important are non-lending services to assure food security, smooth consumption, manage risks, reduce vulnerability and meet other basic needs (Rutherford, 2000; Sebstad and Cohen, 2001; World Bank, 2001; Zeller, et al., 1997).”
Financial Access and Exclusion in Kenya and Uganda (2011, background): “In particular, with the growth of microfinance, understanding of the complexity of poor people’s financial service use has developed ( Rutherford 1999 ) and in particular the variety of informal financial service use (Wai 1992) and multiple use of a range of services by individuals and households.”
Commitments to save: a field experiment in rural Malawi (2011, background): “…the need for research on the potential beneficial impacts of formal savings.2 Indeed, low-income individuals have a hard time saving formally, although they do engage in more expensive and riskier ways to save informally (Rutherford, 2000 and Collins, Morduch, Rutherford and Ruthven, 2009).”
Systematic Review. What is the evidence of the impact of microfinance on the well-being of poor people? (2011, background): “Hulme and Mosley (1996) imply that microfinance does on average have positive impacts but does not always reach the poorest; other studies claim that microfinance often can have positive impacts on the poorest (e.g. among others Rutherford 2001, Khandker 1998).”
