Abstract
Business training programs are common in developing countries. They aim to increase the incomes of small business owners by teaching them basic business practices such as record-keeping, stock control, and marketing. A World Bank project in Lomé, the capital city of Togo, aimed to help businesses improve and grow their business by offering two different types of training, a traditional business training and a psychology-based personal initiative program. We ask you to predict the short and long-run effects of these programs. 10% of respondents to this survey will receive an accuracy reward of up to $100. There is also a $40 reward if you complete at least 4 of these long-run surveys.
