摘要
Mobile finance plays an important role in supporting productive activities and improving the basic livelihoods of rural households. Using three-round panel data and employing control function approach to address the self-selection bias issue, this study shows that mobile finance use significantly increases farmers' livelihoods, measured by farm income and per capita consumption in China, with a larger marginal effect for smallholders and credit-constrained farmers. We further divide mobile finance into two types and reveal that the mobile payment use plays a larger role in farm income, while the mobile banking use has a larger impact on household consumption.
