Econometric Analysis of Profitability of Microfinance Institutions in Selected Asian Countries

Karel Janda and Batbayar Turbat

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This paper evaluates the effectiveness of some of the microfinance lending methodologies using the approach comparing these institutions among themselves in terms of how different lending methodologies influence their performance indicators. The results of this study with respect to different tested hypotheses are somewhat mixed but the general outcome is that rural lending and targeting women borrowers seem to have accomplished the goal whereas the effectiveness of group lending, in contrast to the initial expectation, was not confirmed.
