摘要

我们研究了为肯尼亚食品行业的中小企业提供咨询服务和注入大量资本所产生的影响。我们采用了一种准实验设计,将接受治疗的企业与申请同样支持但未获得足够分数以获得支持的可比企业进行匹配。在采用混合方法进行定量分析的同时,我们还进行了深入的定性访谈,进一步了解了该计划的运作情况。该计划帮助中小企业推出了新产品并增加了员工人数。受访者介绍说,由于获得了大笔资金注入,销售额有所提高。

A mixed methods assessment of technical and financial assistance to small- and medium-sized enterprises in Kenya's food sector

We study the impact of providing consulting services and major capital infusions to small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the food sector in Kenya. We exploit a quasi-experimental design that matches treated firms with comparable firms that applied for the same support but were just short of scoring sufficient points to receive this support. Using mixed methods, this quantitative analysis is supplemented by in-depth qualitative interviews, which provide further insights into the workings of the program. The program helped SMEs launch new products and increased numbers of employees. Interviewees described higher sales resulting from the major capital infusions they received.
