• Social Networks, Reputation, and Commitment: Evidence From a Savings Monitors Experiment (2019, background): “In one of the first RCTs measuring the impacts of village savings and loan associations (VSLAs), Beaman et al. (2014) show that the technical assistance provided by the implementing NGO helps endogenously formed groups accumulate savings and lend those savings to one another.”
• Impact of Village Savings and Loan Associations: Evidence from a cluster randomized trial (2016, background): “The mechanism we identify suggests the presence of fi nancial market imperfections, whereas Beaman et al. (2014) suggest that women in their treatment villages become more forward looking.”
