1 Strategic Default in joint liability groups: Evidence from a natural experiment in India Xavier Gine World Bank Karuna Krishnaswamy IFMR Alejandro Ponce World Justice Project CIRANO, November 9-10,
2 Motivation Microfinance is typically seen as a solution to credit market failures faced by the poor Among the different features of micro loans (escalating loan sizes, frequency of repayment, etc), group lending is perceived as a key innovation driving the high repayment rates claimed by programs around the world Group lending contracts often include a joint liability clause but this is not always the case 2
3 Motivation The literature points out several advantages of joint liability: It solves informational asymmetries by shifting the burden from the lender to the clients (Ghatak and Guinnane, 1999) resulting in lower transaction costs for the institution. Adverse selection (screening and sorting) Moral hazard (ex-ante and ex-post) As well as several disadvantages: Attendance in group meetings and monitoring can be costly. If a critical number of group members cannot repay, members that would otherwise repay find it in their interest not to (Besley and Coate, 1995). 3
4 Motivation More generally, while some groups do default and disband, we know little about why repayment deteriorates. Exposure to common shocks Strategic reasons (Besley and Coate, 1995) Related to Breza (2012) and Allen (2012) Understanding the actual mechanism is important for the design of microcredit products that minimize the occurrence of group default. 4
5 This Paper Provide evidence of strategic default using a natural experiment in India. We ask: Are members of a joint liability group more likely to default when the fraction of defaulters in the group rises? MFIs in the state of Karnataka, India, operate through group-lending schemes, with borrowers sorting into religiously-mixed groups according to their location. On Jan 28 th, 2009, the Anjuman Committee of Kolar issued a statement banning all Muslims from repaying their MFI loans claiming that charging interest was haram As a result, borrowers in Muslim-dominated groups faced, after the announcement, a greater repayment burden compared to borrowers in Hindu-dominated groups. 5
6 Default rate at maturity muslim hindu
7 Default rate at maturity muslim hindu
8 Default rate at maturity muslim hindu
9 Default rate (Muslims in mixed centers) high low
10 Default rate (Hindus in mixed centers) 0.6 high low
11 Institutional setting Clients are predominantly women, with Muslims representing 53% of MFI clients. Loans are transacted and recorded on an individual basis, but an outstanding default by any group member renders the entire group ineligible for future loans. Loans range between Rs 500 and Rs 30,000, depending on the loan cycle. MFIs do not collect savings that could be used as collateral. Al least 12% of MFI borrowers in Kolar and Ramanagaram had more than one outstanding loan in an MFI during (No credit bureau). 11
12 Data MIS from 7 out of 8 registered MFIs operating in Kolar and Ramanagaram. All loans given from 2007 (for 4 MFIs) and 2008 (for 3 MFIs) until Dec 2009 Loan Characteristics and repayment performance at maturity Basic information on borrowers: name, father name, religion, etc Phonetic algorithm to match customers across the databases of multiple MFIs We only use loans disbursed before Anjuman announcement Survey from 600 MFI clients in Kolar and Ramanagaram 12
13 Identification Strategy: Intuition The fatwa provides an exogenous repayment burden for borrowers in Muslim-dominated groups Key Question: Do borrowers in Muslim-dominated centers default more after the announcement compared to borrowers in Hindu-dominated groups? One possible concern is that borrowers in different groups are inherently different. To address this, we focus on a sample of borrowers with multiple loans (in different centers) Identification comes from variation in the behavior of the same individual across different groups. 13
14 Identification Strategy: Checks Joint liability at the center level should be enforced: Check for a drop in loans disbursed after announcement, following increase in defaults 14
15 Number of loans by date of disbursement Muslims Hindus
16 Number of loans by date of disbursement (Hindus) Hindus in center with at least one defaulter Hindus in center without any defaulter 16
17 Identification Strategy: Checks Joint liability at the center level should be enforced: Check for a drop in loans disbursed after announcement, following increase in defaults There should be no reduction in loan sizes The percentage of borrowers in good standing in centers in which at least one member defaulted among borrowers in those centers is 93/21,039 = 0.4% 17
