Due to the non-availability of information in some instances, the present
study uses an unbalanced panel of observations. In the matter of evaluation of performance, the study makes a major departure from the extant studies undertaken in the Indian context and adopts a double bootstrap approach originally suggested by Simar and Wilson. The current approach thus evaluates conditional
performance of the in-sample MFIs in the presence of capital-to-asset ratio as an environmental variable. The two-stage estimation also involved the estimation of the influence of capital-to-asset ratio on the reciprocal of efficiency scores, and contrary to the expectations, the relationship was found to be positive. - Reproduced.  aMicrofinance institutions99519  aPandey, Pallavi99520  aInternational Journal of Rural Management  aFinancial institutions - India  2ddccAR  00102ddc40709384808aIIPAbIIPAd2019-09-03h15(1), Apr, 2019: p.49-77.pAR120708r2019-09-03yAR
