Why the Poor can Gain from Increased Interest Rates in Grameen Bank

Abstract

We believe that group-lending institutions have incentives to include members outside the target-group of poor households. This implies a methodological problem that is rarely taken into account in empirical studies. We apply a general household survey, and find some evidence of non-poor households within the Grameen Bank of Nepal.
