Abstract
We empirically investigate the role of culture in determining the gender-targeting strategy of microfinance institutions (MFIs). We use female/male grammatical distinctions in language as the manifestation of culturally-inherited gender values. Our findings indicate MFIs target women in cultures where they are most likely to experience financial discrimination.
