This book investigates at both the micro- and macroeconomic levels
the impact of mobile phones on poverty and inequality in developing
countries. To gauge the effects of mobile phones on these aspects,
the author refers to the standard concept of technology adoption
and also analyses the actual utilization of mobile phones as a
means of communication and the degree to which they have supplanted
fixed-line phones. Readers will learn why the substitution effect
is stronger among poor than rich users and why the benefits of some
mobile phone projects are confined to the local or village level,
while in other projects the gains can be felt throughout the
economy as a whole.
