Citations in the corpus

• Market Facilitation by Local Government and Firm Efficiency: Evidence from China (2013, background): “For example, credit cooperatives in Germany in the 19th century harnessed local information flows by inducing members who knew each other well to monitor each other’s borrowing to incentivize repayment (Guinnane, 1997, 2001, 2002).”
• Economic Interests and the Origins of Electoral Systems (2007, unknown): “In relation to the latter, it seems to have been difficult to transplant credit cooperatives from Germany to Ireland and the United States (Guinnane 1994, 2001).”
• Historical financing of small- and medium-size enterprises ☆ (2006, unknown): “In 1910, for example, there were 15,517 cooperatives located in rural areas, compared to only 2103 in urban, but despite their much greater numbers, rural cooperatives only had about twice as many total members as their urban counterparts ( Guinnane, 1997, 2001, 2002; Ghatak and Guinnane, 1999).”
