To address financial constraints, are capital injections needed, or is savings mobilization sufficient? This paper tests the direct effects and local spillovers of three instruments to relax financial constraints, each combined with micro-entrepreneurship training. \u201cCash grants\u201d and \u201ccash grants with repayment\u201d directly inject capital, while \u201cvillage savings and loan associations\u201d (VSLAs) promote more efficient group saving. The randomized controlled trial took place in western regions of C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire that were affected by a post-electoral crisis in 2011 and an earlier conflict. The interventions had differential effects on the dynamics of savings and productive asset accumulation. The cash grant modalities generated investments in startup capital, although nearly 30 percent of the grant was saved. In contrast, village savings and loan associations did not increase total savings but gradually induced investments, so that productive assets caught up with cash grant recipients after 15 months. Positive local spillovers on savings and independent activities were also observed. Yet, investments in independent activities were not sufficient to increase profits, possibly because they were limited due to high precautionary saving motives in the post-conflict study setting.","geographic_units":[{"name":"C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire","code":"CIV"}],"keywords":[{"name":"Cash grant"},{"name":"Savings"},{"name":"Livelihoods"},{"name":"Poverty"},{"name":"Graduation"},{"name":"Economic Inclusion"},{"name":"Field Experiment"}],"topics":[{"id":"D13","uri":"https:\/\/www.aeaweb.org\/econlit\/jelCodes.php?view=jel","parent_id":"D1","vocabulary":"Journal of Economic Literature","name":"Household Production and Intrahousehold Allocation"},{"id":"D14","uri":"https:\/\/www.aeaweb.org\/econlit\/jelCodes.php?view=jel","parent_id":"D1","vocabulary":"Journal of Economic Literature","name":"Household Saving \u2022 Personal Finance"},{"id":"O12","uri":"https:\/\/www.aeaweb.org\/econlit\/jelCodes.php?view=jel","parent_id":"O1","vocabulary":"Journal of Economic Literature","name":"Microeconomic Analyses of Economic Development"},{"id":"O17","uri":"https:\/\/www.aeaweb.org\/econlit\/jelCodes.php?view=jel","parent_id":"O1","vocabulary":"Journal of Economic Literature","name":"Formal and Informal Sectors \u2022 Shadow Economy \u2022 Institutional Arrangements"},{"id":"I38","uri":"https:\/\/www.aeaweb.org\/econlit\/jelCodes.php?view=jel","parent_id":"I3","vocabulary":"Journal of Economic Literature","name":"Government Policy \u2022 Provision and Effects of Welfare Programs"}],"data_statement":"Data is not yet publicly available but is expected to be made available through the World Bank Microdata Library in the future.","repository_uri":[{"name":"Reproducible Research Repository (World Bank)","uri":"https:\/\/reproducibility.worldbank.org"}],"technology_requirements":"Runtime: 30 minutes","technology_environment":"Paper exhibits were reproduced on a computer with the following specifications:\n\u2013 Windows 10 Enterprise, version 22H2\n\u2013 Processor: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6226R CPU @ 2.90GHz 2.90 GHz (2 processors)\n\u2013 Memory available: 128 GB\n\u2013 Software version: Stata 18.0 MP","reproduction_instructions":"1. **Secure Access to Data:** Some of the data required for replication is not publicly available yet.\n2. **Download and Place Data:** Once the data is obtained, users should download it and place it in the folder: \"Data\/raw data\".\n3. **Run the Package:**\n    - Edit directory paths in \"PRISE master do-file\".\n    - Run the do-file.\n\nSince not all the data is publicly available, the package includes the code outputs obtained by the replicators in the folder \"Outputs\".
