Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
Does the lack of peers contribute to the observed gender gap in
entrepreneurial success? A random sample of customers of India’s
largest women's bank was offered two days of business counseling,
and a random subsample was invited to attend with a friend. The
intervention significantly increased participants' business activity,
but only if they were trained with a friend. Those trained with a friend
were more likely to have taken out business loans, were less likely to
be housewives, and reported increased business activity and higher
household income, with stronger impacts among women subject to
social norms that restrict female mobility. (JEL G21, J16, J24, L26,
