“…These variables have been widely used in the existing literature. For MFI‐specific control variables, we include total assets (Dey, Hossain, & Rahman, ; Mersland & Strøm, ; Strøm et al, ; Ullah, ; Xu & Wang, ), cost per borrower (Haq, Skully, & Pathan, ; Qayyum & Ahmad, ; Segun & Anjugam, ), administrative expense ratio (Christen & MacDonald, ), and real portfolio yield (Cull, Demirgüç‐Kunt, & Morduch, ; D'Espallier, Hudon, & Szafarz, ; Louis et al, ). For macroeconomic control variables, we use real GDP growth and inflation (Ahlin, Lin, & Maio, ; Barry & Tacneng, ).…”
