Ohio State University's, The Rural Finance Program

The Ohio State University's (OSU) program is a recognized world leader in the analysis of rural financial markets and other finance and development questions, particularly those concerning the design and implementation of financial reform and restructuring programs, the establishment of prudential regulation and supervision frameworks, and the provision of financial services to difficult clienteles (small farmers, rural and urban microenterprises, the poor, women) in developing countries. This reputation has resulted from three decades of distinguished research, publications, instruction, technical assistance, and information dissemination. Under FIRM, OSU's research agenda encompassed three main areas:

1. the analysis of informal financial markets (particularly in the rural areas) and their linkages to formal financial and other markets;

2. the evaluation of the performance (outreach, sustainability, organizational design, and operational effectiveness) of financial institutions and organizations, particularly of those serving the rural areas or small and microenterprises, and

3. investigations of macroeconomic policy, financial market restructuring and reform, and prudential regulation and supervision.
