摘要

本文估算了移动宽带覆盖对尼日利亚家庭福利的影响。分析利用了一个独特的数据集，该数据集将纵向家庭调查与尼日利亚移动运营商提供的有关 2010 年至 2016 年移动宽带互联网部署情况的信息整合在一起。总体而言，估算结果显示，移动宽带覆盖率对家庭消费产生了巨大的积极影响，从而显著减少了贫困。这种影响在贫困家庭中更为明显。劳动力参与是这一福利提升效应的主要原因。

The welfare effects of mobile broadband internet: Evidence from Nigeria

This paper estimates the impacts of mobile broadband coverage on household welfare in Nigeria. The analysis exploits a unique data set that integrates a longitudinal household survey with information from Nigerian mobile operators on the deployment of mobile broadband internet between 2010 and 2016. Overall, estimates show that mobile broadband coverage had large and positive impacts on household consumption thereby reducing poverty significantly. This effect is if anything stronger among poorer households. Labor force participation explains a big part of this welfare-enhancing effect.
