Do microfinance institutes help slum-dwellers in coping with frequent disasters? An agent-based modelling study

This data is linked to the publication - "Do microfinance institutes help slum-dwellers in coping with frequent disasters? An agent-based modelling study". In this study, we explore whether Microfinance Institutes (MFIs) can increase the coping capacity of slum-dwellers by increasing their financial capital while facing disasters. This data includes the regression tables used in analysing the robustness of the model and an in-depth effect of MFI-related parameters such as interest rate, repayment period and provision of relief funds on the coping capacity indicators such as mean savings, Gini-index and the total number of slum-dwellers owning a business. These regression tables are generated using the data obtained by running simulations with the help of a stylized Agent-Based Model (ABM) developed for this study. The model can be accessed using the following link: https://www.comses.net/codebase-release/c916d27f-321c-40e0-a8ff-4ec9f087b186/.
