Evidence from a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) in Bangladesh Rahman, Atiya Bhattacharjee, Anindita Das, Narayan Ultra-poor Skills training Microcredit Credit and grants This article was published in The Review of Development Economics [©2021 Rights managed by Wiley] and the definite version is available at: https://doi.org/10.1111/rode.12809 The Article's website is at: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/rode.12809 Existing evidence shows that programs that provide grants to productive assets along with training to very poor women increase labor supply, earnings, and consumption. In contrast, evidence on the effect of microcredit on these outcomes is mixed. In this paper, we examine the effect of a hybrid of the two approaches—credit and grant—on the livelihoods of the ultra-poor in Bangladesh. A randomized evaluation of the hybrid intervention shows that it increases labor supply of working-age women, household income, productive assets, savings, and consumption expenditures. The benefit–cost ratio of the intervention is estimated to be 8.47. 2024-08-19T06:19:59Z 2024-08-19T06:19:59Z 2021-07-13 Journal article http://hdl.handle.net/10361/23796 en Wiley |
