- Abstract:
  In this article the author discusses a report within the issue by researchers Karlan and Zinman regarding a randomized study investigating the economic and social impact of microcredit loans. He notes that the results of an evaluation of microcredit lending in the Philippines by Karlan and Zinman further suggests that the effectiveness of microcredit has been overstated and discusses the economic impact of an expansion of financial access through microcredit to prevent poverty.
