This table estimates the impact of self-reported problems faced by micro-enterprises on qualitative measures50 of micro-enterprise performance. The unit of observation is the micro-enterprise. Entry is a dummy equaling 1 if the enterprise age is less than 3 years. Standard errors in parentheses, clustered by district.
