Economics of Microfinance小额金融经济学 mobi 下载 网盘 caj lrf pdf txt 阿里云

　　The microfinance revolution, begun with independent initiatives in Latin America and South Asia starting in the 1970s, has so far allowed 65 million poor people around the world to receive small loans without colla***l, build up assets, and buy insurance. This comprehensive survey of microfinance seeks to bridge the gap in the existing li***ture on microfinance between academic economists and practitioners. Both authors have pursued the subject not only in academia but in the field; Beatriz Armendariz founded a microfinance bank in Chiapas, Mexico, and Jonathan Morduch has done fieldwork in Bangladesh, China, and Indonesia.

The authors move beyond the usual theoretical focus in the microfinance li***ture and draw on new developments in theories of contracts and incentives. They challenge conventional assumpti*** about how poor households save and build assets and how instituti*** can overcome market failures. The book provides an overview of microfinance by addressing a range of issues, including less*** from informal markets, savings and insurance, the role of women, the place of subsidies, impact measurement, and management incentives. It integrates theory with empirical data, citing studies from Asia, Africa, and Latin America and introducing ideas about asymmetric information, principal-agent theory, and household decision *** in the context of microfinance.

The Economics of Microfinance can be used by students in economics, public policy, and development studies. Mathematical notation is used to clarify some arguments, but the main points can be gr***ed without the math. Each chapter ends with ***ytically challenging exercises for advanced economics students.

书籍介绍

"an excellent ***ysis of the evolution of microfinance and of the economic theory behind it."

-- , Times Higher Education Supplement

"The single best book on the economics of banking and finance, period, and certainly the most encompassing book I have read on microfinance. My copy is covered in notes and dog-eared from use."

--, New York Bureau Chief, The Economist

"The microfinance movement is bringing hope, prosperity, and progress to many of the poorest people in the world. It is necessary to use critical economic reasoning to understand why the movement is such a success and how its exact achievements can be assessed and scrutinized. This book is a splendid contribution to that goal, and will be a great help to students, teachers, and practitioners in economics and the social sciences."

--, Lamont University Professor, Harvard University, Nobel Laureate in Economics (1998)

"A great place to learn how and why microfinance really works, and where it hits its limits. The book, written by two leading young economists, brims with new evidence and provides fresh perspectives on old debates. Clearly written and sharply argued, it revisits and transforms important ideas about poverty reduction, finance, and incentives. The authors describe what we know and what we need to know in order to move forward."

--, Professor of Economics and Finance, Columbia University, Nobel Laureate in Economics (2001)

"Microfinance is playing a key role in the economies of many developing countries, providing small-scale entrepreneurs with the access to financing that is so often unavailable from commercial and state banks. This book provides an accessible, ***ytical roadmap for understanding this important trend. The authors tackle central debates and provide new evidence, giving readers tools to create future innovati***."

--, Founder and Chairman, Open Society Institute

"The promotion of microfinance is one of the most significant innovati*** in development policy of the past twenty-five years. This timely book provides a guide to its main ideas and reviews the evidence in a way that is both accessible and rigorous. It will be a valuable resource for students, researchers, and practitioners."

--, Professor of Economics and Political Science, London School of Economics and Political Science

"This is an important book by two of the leading economists in microfinance, detailing what we know and don't know about the subject. It is an accessible book laden with examples, but it doesn't sacrifice intellectual rigor. It should be of great interest to students, researchers, and practitioners with an ***ytical bent."

--, University of Chicago and the International Monetary Fund
