摘要

摘要我们利用乌干达农村的地块、家庭和社区层面的面板数据，研究了快速扩张的移动银行服务“移动货币”对农村家庭采用现代农业投入的决定的影响及其对农业收入的影响。主要研究结果表明，移动货币的使用使人均农业收入增加了13%。路径分析表明，采用移动货币使玉米地使用化肥的可能性增加了11个百分点。移动货币的采用使玉米地采用高产玉米种子的可能性增加了8.2个百分点。在乌干达土壤肥力迅速下降、化肥和现代种子采用率极低的背景下，流动资金为农业集约化提供了一条融资途径。

Mobile Money, Agricultural Intensification, and Household Welfare: Panel Evidence from Rural Uganda

Abstract We examine the impact of the rapidly expanding mobile banking service “mobile money” on rural households’ decision to adopt modern agricultural inputs and its resultant effect on agricultural income using plot, household, and community-level panel data from rural Uganda. The main findings indicate that mobile money adoption increases per capita farm income by 13%. Pathway analyses show that mobile money adoption increases the likelihood of using chemical fertilizer on maize plots by 11 percentage points. Mobile money adoption increases the likelihood of high-yielding maize seeds adoption on maize plots by 8.2 percentage points. In the Ugandan context of rapid decline in soil fertility and very low adoption of fertilizer and modern seeds, mobile money provides an avenue to finance agricultural intensification.
