复制了Duvendack和Palmer-Jones对Chemin(2008)以及Pitt和Khandker(1998)的复制研究,发现其代码存在严重错误和方法表述不实,认为其结果不可靠,无法证明原论文或小额信贷的有效性。

Abstract

The paper "High Noon for Microfinance Impact Evaluations" by Duvendack and Palmer-Jones replicates the papers of Chemin (2008) and Pitt and Khandker (1998) that estimate the impact of microfinance in Bangladesh. My paper replicates the Duvendack and Palmer-Jones replication and finds so many serious errors in their code and misrepresentations of the methods described in their paper that I conclude that their results are spurious and provide no evidence about the validity of either the papers of Chemin or Pitt and Khandker or on the effectiveness of microfinance.
