Access to Finance (2010, unknown): “Marguerite Robinson (2001) has, for example, drawn this conclusion in her sweeping assessment of the " microfinance revolution " , and it drives Dale Adams' wariness of microfinance as a poverty-reduction tool (e.g., Adams and Pischke, 1992).”
The New Moneylenders: Are the Poor Being Exploited by High Microcredit Interest Rates? (2009, unknown): “Sometimes borrowers with other credit options are willing to pay a higher interest rate to an MFI because the MFI loan entails lower transaction costs (Adams, Graham, and von Pischke 1984; Meyer and Cuevas 1992; Robinson 2001; Tran 1998; and Cuevas 1989).”
The Unbanked (2008, background): “…impacts on the poor than access to finance stress the second and third groups among the unbanked (those deemed not creditworthy or those not interested in being in debt), arguing that the net impacts of microfinance are apt to be smaller than advocates assert (Robinson 2001; Hulme and Mosley 1996).”
Strategic Herding Behavior in Peer-to-Peer Loan Auctions (2011, background): “The bidding strategies of most lenders on Prosper are influenced by microfinance models (Robinson 2001) in the sense that they bid relatively small amounts of money on individual loan auctions (Bruett 2007; Hulme andWright 2006).”
Finance for incremental housing: current status and prospects for expansion (2010, background): “Major figures, such as Hillary Clinton, lauded the achievements of the microfinance revolution publicized widely at this time (Robinson, 2001) and the concept of housing microfinance enjoyed legitimacy by association.”
Outreach and performance of microfinance institutions: a panel analysis (2015, background): “Robinson (2003) addresses this transformation in the microcredit industry where MFIs achieve outreach and financial sustainability without requiring subsidies.”
The cost of ownership in microfinance organizations (2007, unknown): “Some microfinance markets, especially rural, have no formal supplier of financial services at all (Christen et al., 2004, Robinson, 2001).”
