Abstract
Credit impact studies have traditionally been plagued by a variety of methodological problems which make their results suspect. This discussion represents a reaction to three credit impact studies conducted on very different agricultural situations in Brazil, Kenya, and China. The key finance features of the studies are reviewed and some general comments are made concerning their implications for the debate about how to develop formal financial systems in developing countries.
