| [https://ludoviclenders.wixsite.com/informalpracticesla This project] is truly original, evidence-based, publishable quality (in fact, we are commissioning the authors to contribute to the [[Global Informality Project]]). Great combination of available quantitative data and qualitative analysis of daily practices. Visuals represent another interesting dimension of this project that does not simply illustrate the terms but set up entry points for the local practices of rosca and sapada. Enthusiasm and research capacity are illustrated well in the bibliography and the scope of findings.
