Deposit Collectors?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Informal lending and savings institutions exist around the world, and often include regular door-to-door deposit collection of cash. Some banks have adopted similar services in order to expand access to banking services in areas that lack physical branches. Using a randomized control trial, we investigate determinants of participation in a deposit collection service and evaluate the impact of offering the service for micro-savers of a rural bank in the Philippines. Of 137 individuals offered the service in the treatment group, 38 agreed to sign-up, and 20 regularly used the service. Take-up is predicted by distance to the bank (a measure of transaction costs of depositing without the service) as well as being married (a suggestion that household bargaining issues are important). Those offered the service saved 188 pesos more (which equates to about a 25% increase in savings stock) and were slightly less likely to borrow from the bank. JEL codes: D1, D9, G1, G2, O1

A near-field electrospinning (NFES) process has been developed to deposit solid nanofibers in a direct, continuous, and controllable manner. A tungsten electrode with tip diameter of 25 microm is used to construct nanofibers of 50-500 nm line width on silicon-based collectors while the liquid polymer solution is supplied in a manner analogous to that of a dip pen. The minimum applied bias volta...
متن کاملGarbage Collection Alternatives for Icon
Copying garbage collectors are becoming the collectors of choice for very high-level languages and for functional and object-oriented languages. Copying collectors are particularly efficient for large storage regions because their execution time is proportional only to the amount of accessible data, and they identify and compact this data in one pass. In contrast, mark-and-sweep collectors exec...
