Why is it important?

It is unique because of the mathematical formulation for calculation of Total repayment which is made by the poor. Further it would motivate researchers to look for more such mathematical formulations which could help in modelling Microfinance with certainty.

Perspectives

This paper uses causal loop diagrams to better explain the modelling process for microfinance. Moreover the quantitative modelling done is unique to microfinance hence was unexplored till now. This paper clearly identifies the need for such an analysis and the importance of the system dynamics tool for this.
