When pro‐poor microcredit institutions favour richer borrowers: A moral hazard story

Canadian Journal of Economics/Revue canadienne d'économique, Volume 57, Issue 1, Page 225-242, February / Février 2024.
Abstract We suggest an explanation for the existence of “mission drift,” the tendency for Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) to lend money to wealthier borrowers rather than to the very poor. We focus on the relationship between MFIs and external funding institutions. We assume that both the MFIs and the funding institutions are pro‐poor.
