      abstract = {The objective of this study is to explain the determinants  of farm and non-farm sole proprietorship households access  to credit as well as the extent their credit constraints  impact their value of production. A propensity,  kernel-based matching estimator was employed to provide  unbiased estimates of the production impacts of being  denied credit. Prior research efforts have used inferior  methods, including the two-stage Heckman estimator deal  with estimation issues (selection bias and endogeneity)  inherent in determining impacts of credit access and use.  Results suggest that credit constrained  sole-proprietorships, farm and non-farm, have a  significantly lower value of production, but this drop in  production, when aggregated to a national level, is small.},
