الملخص (بالإنجليزية): This article interrogates whether start-up microenterprise financing wields any benefits for the financial performance of microfinance institutions (MFIs). It is done with data from 532 MFIs drawn from 73 countries. Generally, the results show that financial support for start-up microenterprises improves the financial performance of MFIs. This result is robust under different panel estimation techniques. However, an interaction analysis reveals that the positive impact of start-up microenterprise financing on the financial performance of MFIs decreases when start-up microenterprise financing interacts with MFI size. The implication is that larger MFIs are likely to benefit less from funding start-up microenterprises. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract (Spanish): Cet article s'interroge sur les avantages potentiels présentés par le financement des microentreprises en phase de démarrage pour les performances financières des institutions de microfinance (IMF). Il réalise cette analyse à partir des données de 532 IMF existant dans 73 pays. D'une manière générale, les résultats montrent que le soutien financier aux microentreprises en phase de démarrage améliore les performances financières des IMF. Ce résultat est robuste selon différentes techniques d'estimation de données de panel. Cependant, une analyse d'interaction révèle que l'impact positif du financement des microentreprises en phase de démarrage sur les performances financières des IMF diminue lorsque ce financement interagit avec la taille des IMF. Il s'ensuit que plus grandes sont les IMF, moins elles sont susceptibles de bénéficier du financement des microentreprises en phase de démarrage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

مستخلص: We engage parametric and non‐parametric approaches to analyze unbalanced data (2012–16) from 225 credit unions in Ghana. The non‐parametric analysis involves using data envelopment analysis to assess the technical efficiency of the credit unions. We show that most of them are not technically efficient. The average five‐year overall technical efficiency and pure technical efficiency scores of a credit union are 0.87 and 0.91 respectively. Targeted at inquiring whether manager bonding significantly connects with the technical efficiency of credit unions, the parametric analysis which involves the use of probit and logit regression techniques, shows that, generally, the bonding of managers hurts the technical efficiency of credit unions. We are, thus, led to the conclusion that bonding of managers may not be in the best interest of credit unions in Ghana. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

مصطلحات جغرافية: GHANA

مستخلص: This study explored the associations among personal financial planning, self-control, and financial satisfaction using a sample of 293 employees of universities in Ghana. Based on the partial least squares structural equation modeling analyses, the results showed that financial planning and self-control had positive relationships with financial satisfaction and that self-control partially mediated the relationship between financial planning and financial satisfaction.

الوصف: We test the effect of institutional quality on capital structure in the microfinance setting. In doing this, we rely on data from 532 microfinance institutions (MFIs) located in 73 countries dotted across the six microfinance regions in the world. We observe that institutional quality exhibits a robust negative and statistically significant relationship with capital structure in both the short and long run, implying that MFIs in countries with a better institutional environment are less likely to utilize more debt. Our moderation analysis furnishes us with evidence that the presence of women on the board of an MFI significantly moderates the relationship between institutional quality and its capital structure. We show that in the presence of more female representation on the boards of MFIs, the tendency of MFIs using less debt is higher.

مستخلص: The impact of board gender diversity on the financial performance of firms is not known. This is because empirical investigations have yielded inconclusive outcomes. This study engages data from 408 microfinance institutions (MFIs) covering the period 2010–2018 from the six microfinance regions to investigate this impact using the Least Squares Dummy Variable (LSDV) and the System Generalized Method of Moments (SYS‐GMM) estimation techniques. The study also explores whether judicial efficiency exerts any significant effect on the board gender diversity–financial performance nexus. The study observes that board gender diversity exhibits a strong negative effect on the financial performance of MFIs. The study also observes that the effect of board gender diversity on the financial performance of MFIs escalates in the presence of judicial inefficiency. The study, therefore, unveils the judicial system as a channel through which gender diversity drives the financial performance of MFIs negatively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
