使用随机实验在智利，我们研究的影响榜样的背景下，培训计划的微型企业家。我们发现，被随机选择的一组被访问该计划的成功校友增加家庭收入一年后，主要是由于增加的业务参与和业务收入。我们还随机提供个性化的“咨询会议”维斯小组会议，并观察到类似的影响收入，与榜样干预显着更具成本效益，更适合经验不足的企业。(JEL J24、L25、L26、M53、O14、O15）
Using a randomized experiment in Chile, we study the impact role models have in the context of a training program for micro–entrepreneurs. We show that being in a group randomly chosen to be visited by a successful alumnus of the program increases household income one year after, mostly due to increased business participation and business income. We also randomized the provision of personalized “consulting sessions” vis–à–vis group sessions, and observe similar effects on income, with the role model intervention being significantly more cost-effective and better suited for less experienced businesses.
