📋 Tender Overview
Scope :
The proposed research aims to explore the impact of access to finance on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). Specifically, it will examine how different types of credit (long-term vs. short-term) affect SME growth and development, while also analyzing variations in impact based on factors such as sector, gender of the owner, and other baseline characteristics. The study will include a systematic review and meta-analysis of existing literature, along with an impact evaluation using quasi-experimental methods. By shifting the focus to more established SMEs, this research seeks to fill existing gaps in the literature, which has predominantly emphasized microenterprises and startups.
