This repository contains mostly data from randomized experiments in the social sciences, including data from studies run by researchers associated with Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) and the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL). Data, statistical code underlying published research results, surveys, and documentation are included. To download all materials from a study, locate the zip folder called "Dataverse materials" within each study. Each organization is responsible for curating and managing their own data. Contact for questions/comments: IPA (transparency@poverty-action.org) or J-PAL (data@povertyactionlab.org).

Credit Elasticities in Less Developed Economies: Implications in Microfinance
Sep 23, 2020 - Innovations for Poverty Action Dataverse
Karlan, Dean; Zinman, Jonathan, 2020, "Credit Elasticities in Less Developed Economies: Implications in Microfinance", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/VCWHAH, Harvard Dataverse, V1

This strategy makes sense if the poor are rate insensitive: then microlenders increase profitability (or achieve sustainability) without reducing the poor's access to credit. We test the assumption of price inelastic demand...
