We study the introduction of a choice architecture design intended to increase short-term savings among employees at … from each paycheck into a short-term savings account from which withdrawals are possible at any time. We find that … very low: no more than 0.7% of eligible employees ever activated an account. Opt-in access to short-term savings programs …

We develop a micro-founded general equilibrium model with heterogeneous agents and three dimensions of financial inclusion: access (determined by a participation cost), depth (determined by a borrowing constraint), and intermediation efficiency (determined by a monitoring cost). We find that the...

A general equilibrium model featuring multiple realistic sources of financial frictions is developed to study how different constraints interact in equilibrium. We highlight, distinguish, and evaluate their differential impacts and rich interactions. The economic impact of financial inclusion...
