In terms <strong>of</strong> Household Assets, the only significant difference seems to be that Active<br />

Borrowers have Refrigerators, and that far fewer <strong>of</strong> them have sewing machines than all<br />

other categories – Table 3.4. Table 3.5 on the other hand shows that the Monthly Sales <strong>of</strong><br />

Active Borrowers are significantly higher than all others.<br />

Note: There are 237 and 273 respondents in each category respectively. t-value greater than 1.6 indicates<br />

the mean difference between two categories is statistically significant at least at 90 percent level <strong>of</strong><br />

significant. The negative t indicates that average value <strong>of</strong> category 2 is greater than the average<br />

value <strong>of</strong> category 1.<br />
