Abstract
This paper analyzes the determinants of individual participation in informal financial groups (IFGs). The findings indicate that group characteristics are a primary factor explaining IFG participation, while transaction costs also play an important role. Results highlight the broad scope of individuals (by gender, age, occupation) participating in IFGs.
