Abstract

This paper describes a unique data set with information on clients from Caja Los Andes, one of the leading microfinance institutions in Bolivia. The data set stretches over nine years and encompasses more than 76.000 clients. The description focuses on the development of the clients and their microenterprises over time. In particular, we find evidence for substantial increases in assets and business income.
