Examines whether micro-credit improves household food security in Benin using 2017 Comprehensive Food Security and Vulnerability Analysis survey data. Two ordered indicators—food consumption categories and food security classes—are modeled with an extended ordered probit to address non-random access and selection bias. Results show endogenous access to micro-credit and mixed effects across consumption and food security outcomes; micro-credit used for food purchases improves food consumption categories without significant effects on food security classes.
