  1. Each column presents the results of OLS regressions for binary dependent variables on the binary treatment assignment variable. Results are ITT estimates due to imperfect intervention compliance. All regressions control for VSLA-level controls (a settlement dummy, a dummy for VSLAs that meet at least weekly, the number of members in the VSLA, and the VSLA’s share price (normalized to weekly)), and individual-level controls (dummy for at least primary education). Robust standard errors clustered at the VSLA level are displayed below coefficients in parentheses. Asterisks denote a statistically significant difference at the 1% ***, 5% **, or 10% * levels.
