Abstract

The Long-Term Impact of Microcredit Impacts 1998 is a follow up survey conducted by Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies (BIDS) and the World Bank. The survey was first carried out in 1991-1992 and the survey's main focus was to provide data for an analysis of three major credit programs (Grameen Bank, Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee, and the Rural Development-12 program of the Bangladesh Rural Development Board).

The survey covered both villages from each of the programs under study as well as villages where no lending took place. The 1991-1992 survey included 1,798 households randomly drawn from 87 villages of 29 thanas in rural Bangladesh. These households from 87 villages of 29 thanas were surveyed first in 1991/92, and then revisited in 1998/99. In 1998-1999, altogether 2,599 households were surveyed, out of which 2,226 were from old villages and 373 were from new villages.

Sampling

Sampling Procedure

These households were revisited once in 1998/99. However, among the 1,769 households surveyed in 1991/92 survey, 131 could not be re-traced in 1998/99, leaving 1,638 households available for the re-survey. The attrition rate is therefore 7.4 percent. Re-survey included new households from old villages and newly included villages. Three new non-target households were randomly selected from each of the existing 87 villages. Also three new thanas were randomly selected from the southern and south-eastern regions that were severely affected by cyclone in 1991/92 and excluded in first round survey. Three villages were drawn randomly from each of these new thanas, making 9 additional villages in all. In these new villages, 20 households were drawn from both target and non-target households. Altogether 2,599 households were surveyed in 1998/99 out of which 2,226 are were from old villages and 373 are from new villages.
