• Measuring the Equilibrium Impacts of Credit: Evidence from the Indian Microfinance Crisis (2018, background): “In a related contribution, Ahlin and Jiang (2008) also show theoretically that microfinance can affect the wage via occupational choice and can have large impacts for low-wealth households while potentially reducing incomes for high-wealth households via the wage effect.”
• Business, Entrepreneurship and Innovation Toward Poverty Reduction (2019, background): “…has increasingly become a core subject for researchers across the social sciences from economics and finance, to management and entrepreneurship (Ahlin and Jiang 2008; Chen, Chang and Bruton, 2017; Dollar, and Kraay, 2002; Dollar, Kleineberg, and Kraay 2016; Sutter, Bruton, and Chen 2019).”
• Financial development and poverty reduction in developing countries: New evidence from banks and microfinance institutions (2016, background): “More recent theoretical work (Ahlin and Jiang, 2008; Yusupov, 2012; Buera et al., 2012) has suggested the potential for macroeconomic effects of microfinance.”
• Does Self Help Group Participation Lead to Asset Creation (2009, methodology): “A recent theoretical contribution by Ahlin and Jiang, 2008, arrives at a similar point.”
• Where does microfinance flourish? Microfinance institution performance in macroeconomic context (2011, unknown): “Also, micro-credit's effect on development can depend on its ability to enable average micro-borrowers expand operations toward optimal capital intensities (Ahlin and Jiang, 2008).”
