Microfinance and the Millennium Development Goals in Pakistan: Impact Assessment Using Propensity Score Matching
Published By: ADBI on eSS | Published Date: March, 25 , 2008Using data from a survey of clients of a microfinance bank,
Khushhali Bank, in 2005, the study revisited the survey data and found that despite the
Bank’s strict poverty-targeting program used in client selection and despite the survey’s
design to address the selectivity bias, the selectivity bias indeed still existed in the sampled
households. Propensity Score-Matching Methods (PSM) are used to address the selectivity
bias. [DP 104].
