Abstract

Group lending with joint liability is a promising innovation in financial intermediation involving smallholders. Signaling theory is used to examine the effect of improved information regarding borrower creditworthiness on loan repayment rates. Internal rates of return determine cost-effectiveness. Data for the analysis came from a Costa Rican case study.
