I am writing about a research project that I am undertaking this winter. I am in my final year of university at Bates College in the United States. As an Economics major, I am encouraged to spend my last semester writing a thesis paper.
While enrolled at the London School of Economics, I studied the Grameen Bank as part of my Development Economics course, with Professor Desai and Dr. Scott.
I was fascinated by the economic theory employed in the Grameen Model. In particular, the peer-monitoring approach, as discussed by Stiglitz, fueled my curiosity.
As a result, I intend to devote my thesis to the study of the Grameen Bank. In particular, I will focus on the Bank's success in alleviating poverty. Ideally, I would like to conduct my own regression analysis. To achieve this goal, however, I need to find a data source which contains household surveys. I would greatly appreciate any advice you could give me on how to locate this type of data.
