项目摘要

Studies of the effects of access to micro-finance on economic and social outcomes for women have mainly focused on short-term effects. Moreover, there are few empirical studies that establish a causal effect of microcredit credit access on women's empowerment, economic outcomes and other social outcomes. This proposed research project will use field experiments to study the long-term effects of micro-finance access on a number of outcomes for low income women. The study will be based on a follow-up survey of low income women in a 2012 experimental study of access to micro-credit. The study will gather and analyze information about health, and education as well as women's empowerment (decision making power within their households) seven years after their initial access to micro-credit. This will be one of the first experimental studies of microcredit that focuses on long run outcomes rather than on short-run outcomes. The evidence would help determine whether microcredit provision can be used as an effective anti-poverty program. The results of this research project will provide important inputs into the formulation of policies to reduce poverty in the U.S. and around the world. In contrast to earlier studies that find positive and significant short-run effects of microcredit on investments in education, health and women's decision-making power, recent randomized control trial (RCT) studies find no such effects. An important question is whether these differences in outcomes are due to differences in time frames or differences in methodologies. This research project will investigate the long-term effects of micro-credit access on investment in health, education, and three aspects of women empowerment---economic, demographic, and psychological---women empowerment. It will conduct an RCT follow-up of a 2012 study of the effects of microcredit access among low income women on their socioeconomic outcomes. This project will contribute to our understanding of the linkage between women's access to credit and improvements in health and educational outcomes as well as women?s empowerment. The results of this research project will contribute to the US's ability to craft effective policies to reduce poverty among low income populations.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
关于获得小额信贷对妇女经济和社会结果的影响的研究主要侧重于短期影响。此外,很少有实证研究确定小额信贷获得对妇女赋权、经济结果和其他社会结果的因果关系。这个拟议的研究项目将利用实地试验来研究小额信贷对低收入妇女的若干结果的长期影响。这项研究将基于2012年对低收入妇女获得小额信贷的实验研究的后续调查。这项研究将收集和分析有关卫生、教育以及妇女赋权(其家庭内的决策权)的信息,这些信息在妇女最初获得小额信贷七年后进行。这将是首批关注长期结果而非短期结果的小额信贷实验研究之一。这些证据将有助于确定小额信贷是否可以作为一项有效的反贫困计划。这项研究项目的结果将为制定减少美国和世界各地贫困的政策提供重要的投入。早期的研究发现小额信贷对教育、卫生和妇女决策权的投资有积极和显著的短期影响,而最近的随机对照试验(RCT)研究没有发现这种影响。一个重要的问题是,这些结果的差异是由于时间框架的差异还是由于方法的差异。这个研究项目将调查获得小额信贷对保健、教育投资的长期影响,以及妇女赋权的三个方面————经济、人口和心理————妇女赋权。它将对2012年一项关于低收入妇女获得小额信贷对其社会经济成果影响的研究进行随机对照试验。这一项目将有助于我们了解妇女获得信贷与改善健康和教育成果之间的联系,以及妇女?赋权。这个研究项目的结果将有助于美国制定有效的政策来减少低收入人群的贫困。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命,并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估,被认为值得支持。
