Other Household Survey [hh/oth]
The Long-Term Impact of Microcredit Impacts was conducted in 1991-1992 by Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies (BIDS) and the World Bank. The survey's main focus was to provide data for an analysis of three major credit programs (Grameen Bank, Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee, and the Rural Development-12 program of the Bangladesh Rural Development Board).
The survey covered both villages from each of the programs under study as well as villages where no lending took place. The survey included 1,798 households randomly drawn from 87 villages of 29 thanas in rural Bangladesh. These households from 87 villages of 29 thanas were surveyed first in 1991-1992, and then revisited in 1998-1999.

Sampling
The survey included 1,798 households randomly drawn from 87 villages of 29 thanas in rural Bangladesh. Out of 29 thanas, 24 were program thanas (8 from each of the three programs: Grameen Bank, BRAC, and BRDB RD-12 project), and 5 were nonprogram thanas. They were selected from 391 rural thanas out of 460 thanas. Three villages in each program thana were randomly selected from a list of program villages in which a program had been in operation for at least three years. Three villages in each non-program thana were also randomly selected from the village census of the Government of Bangladesh. Villages with an unusually high or low number of households (fewer than 51 or higher than 600) were excluded from village survey design. A total of 87 villages was selected from which a total of 1,798 households were selected based on landholding.

The household survey was conducted three times during 1991-1992, based on the three cropping seasons: round 1 during Aman rice (November- February), round 2 during Boro rice (March-June), and round 3 during Aus rice (July-October). However, because of attrition only 1,769 households were available in the third round.
A more detailed description of this survey can be found in Khandker (1998).
