Experimental Design (Public)
|
Before
We randomly select 160 micro-finance borrowers out of a list of micro-finance borrowers who are female and have active loans, from a microfinance bank in rural Nigeria. We randomly allocate 100 to our control condition and 60 to our treatment condition. The treatment condition consists of a 6-week long financial literacy training. We conduct a baseline survey with the entire sample, before the randomization takes place. After the training, we conduct an endline survey with the entire sample.

After
We randomly select 160 micro-finance borrowers out of a list of micro-finance borrowers who are female and have active loans, from a microfinance bank in rural Nigeria. We randomly allocate half to our control condition and half to our treatment condition. The treatment condition consists of a 6-week long financial literacy training. We conduct a baseline survey with the entire sample, before the randomization takes place. After the training, we conduct an endline survey with the entire sample.

After
The unit of randomization is a micro-finance borrower, stratified by LAPO branch, client support-officer in charge, whether borrower is part of lending group, meeting day, and range of borrowers in group.

Sample size (or number of clusters) by treatment arms
|
Before
Our target sample size is 50 in treatment condition (financial literacy training), and 80 in control condition (no financial literacy training). To allow for attrition, we randomly select 60 borrowers in treatment, and 100 borrowers in control group.
|
After
Our target sample size is 50 in treatment condition (financial literacy training), and 80 in control condition (no financial literacy training). To allow for low treatment uptake and attrition, we randomly select 80 borrowers in treatment, and 80 borrowers in the control group.
