We aim to investigate the role of output market imperfections in constraining the
microfinance programme to mitigate credit market imperfections. We develop a
model in which output market imperfections increase operating costs for nongovernment
organizations (NGO) and create barriers for producers to market their
goods. Therefore, NGOs operate in locations having good physical infrastructure and
better productive. and marketing opportunities to minimize operating costs and
maximize loan repayment. Using data from northern Bangladesh, we found strong
support for the model predictions. NGO coverage in a village, measured both by
percentage of NGO member households and number of NGOs working, decreased
with distance of the village from marketplace and increased with adoption of modern
irrigation method and soil quality. NGOs did not consider poverty incidence in the
village. The results have important implications for development economics in
general and impact assessment of microfinance programme in particular. |
