The greatest triumph of microfinance is the demonstration that poor households can be reliable bank customers. The received wisdom at the start of the 1970s held that substantial subsidies were required to run financial institutions serving poor households in low-income countries. Government banks often shouldered the task of serving the poor, usually with a focus on farmers. However, most state-run banks were driven by political imperatives, and so they charged interest rates well below market rates and even then collected loan repayments only half- heartedly.

For the process of a credit-financed investment expansion described above, the financial sector is of crucial importance. The Keynesian-Schumpeterian investment-saving nexus can only work if the financial sector is able and willing to extend credit to companies which wish to expand production and investment.

Discuss how incentives af fect people’s behavior The word economy comes from the Greek word for “one who manages a household.” At first, this origin might seem peculiar.

Who gets to choose what TV show to watch? In short, the household must allocate its scarce resources among its various members, taking into account each...

The old strategies are failing in another sense as well. They no longer describe reality. The field suffers from a terrible disconnect between the dominant models and prescriptions that flow from them, on the one hand, and the reality that people are coping with, on the other. This is a warning sign. We need to re-think. The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the Millennium Project provide a strategic setting in which to do just that. The focus of this Task Force is on Goals 4 and 5 on child mortality and maternal health...

Instrumental variables techniques are required to solve the possible endogeneity of household consumption. The most difficult task is to find a valid instrument for the regression above. The literature on demand systems typically uses income to instrument consumption. If preferences are separable between consumption and leisure, total consumption but not income is relevant to decide on the good shares. However, there are several reasons why household income might not be a valid instrument.

Currently, poverty is broadly defined by the lack of public services and the lack of opportunities to generate income, as well as the inability of people to act in their own interests, to express their needs through con- crete proposals, and to organize collectively to implement solutions. Poverty constitutes a challenge to the peaceful coexistence of people and represents ignorance of their social, economic, and political rights. How- ever, creating permanent jobs and implementing productive projects for poverty reduction are not simple tasks....
