hello everyone, I am doing research on microfinance and social capital. I want to see if services provided by microfinance enhances social capital among the clients. some have recommended me to go for principal component analysis and logit regression to measure social capital, but can you suggest to me other alternatives how I can go about measuring social capital in microfinance.
Dear Kencho:
It´s a very good point the one you choose. As far as I know, there are not absolute answers to what you are asking. That because Microfinance is a broad subject that has many different type of organizations behind. I suggest you authors and an organization: Begoña Gutiérrez Nieto, Carlos Serrano Cinca, Roy Mersland, experts on these subject, and CERMI: Center for European Research on Microfinance, they´ll be useful.

Hola. Coincido respecto a que tanto las microfinanzas como el capital social son conceptos amplios. Por lo tanto, aconsejaría comenzar definiendo el capital social, seleccionar un aspecto, y en base a ello, diseñar metodología acorde. Medir cambio (impacto) de dicha variable en una muestra de beneficiarios puede ser posible

Je partage l'avis de Cecilia Diaz. Il faut trouver des indicateurs discriminants propres aux deux concepts
