摘要

利用卢旺达综合家庭生活状况调查（2013/2014 年和 2016/17 年），我们研究了普惠金融是否会改善卢旺达农村地区的营养状况。我们的实证证据显示，正规金融机构的金融包容性产生了稳健的积极影响，而非正规机构（如 "通坦"）在改善食品支出或营养方面效果不佳。此外，金融包容性的异质性边际效应缩小了女户主家庭和男户主家庭在食品支出和营养方面的性别差距。因此，研究结果表明，该国应促进正规的普惠金融，通过改善农村社区的粮食安全、营养和食品支出来提供广泛的福利效应。

Financial inclusion and nutrition among rural households in Rwanda

Using Rwandan Integrated Household Living Conditions surveys (2013/2014 and 2016/17), we investigate whether financial inclusion leads to improved nutrition in rural Rwanda. Our empirical evidence shows a robust positive impact of financial inclusion by formal financial institutions, although informal institutions like tontines were ineffective in improving food expenditure or nutrition. Furthermore, the heterogeneous marginal effects of financial inclusion reduce the gender gap between the food expenditure and nutrition of female- and male-headed households. The results, hence, suggest that the country should promote formal financial inclusion to provide wide-ranging welfare effects by improving food security, nutrition and food expenditure in its rural communities.
