Citations in the corpus

• Microfinance: its Impact, Outreach and Sustainability (2011, background): “Another, related lesson from the symposium contribution by Hudon and Traca (2011) is that subsidies do not have to compromise efficiency of MFIs, as long as subsidy levels remain moderate.”
• Microfinance, the long tail and mission drift (2014, background): “According to Hudon and Traca (2011) MFIs donors’ common goal is to reach very remote populations that are not likely to be served without external support.”
• The Microfinance Business Model: Enduring Subsidy and Modest Profit (2016, background): “In contrast, Hudon and Traca (2011) find that MFIs that receive subsidies are more efficient than those that do not, though that advantage grows smaller beyond a threshold at which marginal efficiency declines with additional subsidy.”
• Determinants of the Performance of Microfinance Institutions: A Systematic Review (2018, background): “Strategic Change, 26, 133-143. Vanroose, A., & D'Espallier, B. (2013). Do microfinance institutions accomplish their mission? Evidence from the relationship between traditional financial sector development and microfinance institutions’ outreach and performance.

• Unsubsidized Microfinance Institutions (2013, background): “In fact, they may slightly enhance it, according to Hudon (2010) and Hudon and Traça (2011).”
• Green Microfinance: Characteristics of Microfinance Institutions Involved in Environmental Management (2013, background): “The microfinance sector is different in that it is highly subsidized (Hudon and Traca 2011), with many MFIs still requiring subsidies to cover their costs and finance their loans (Cull et al.”
