The Miracle of Microfinance? Evidence from a Randomized Evaluation (2013, unknown): “In Mongolia, Attanasio et al. (2011) find a much larger increase, 48 percentage points, but this is among a sample that had already expressed interest in obtaining a loan from the lender and formed a potential borrowing group before randomization.13 The fairly low take up rate in these difference co”
