Systematic Review. What is the evidence of the impact of microfinance on the well-being of poor people? (2011, background): “the balancing properties of the propensity score should be satisfied (see Appendix 0) – as emphasized by Caliendo and Kopeinig (2005, 2008) and Smith and Todd (2005) – and that the sensitivity of the results require testing – as advocated by Rosenbaum (2002), Becker and Caliendo (2007), Ichino et al”
INFORMALITY: CAUSES, CONSEQUENCES AND POLICY RESPONSES (2017, neutral): “Thus Burgess and Pande (2005), focusing on rural bank branch expansion, conclude that: " Evaluated at the sample mean, we find that rural branch expansion can explain a 14 to 17 percentage point decline in rural headcount— roughly half the overall fall across the period.”
