Rohini Pande (Harvard University) discusses findings from her earlier studies (joint with Erica Field, Duke University and Natalia Rigol, MIT) on the role of microfinance contract design in helping micro-entrepreneurs invest in their businesses. She also outlines the objectives of her current PEDL-funded project, which builds on this existing research to study the long-term impacts of a repayment flexibility intervention on the growth dynamics of microfinance clients’ enterprises. Rohini presented early results from this study at the conference.
