Look Who's Talking: The Impacts of the Intrahousehold Allocation of Mobile Phones on Agricultural Prices
利用菲律宾数据，研究发现家庭是否拥有手机对农产品价格无影响，但农民或配偶拥有手机可使价格提高5%至8%，揭示了手机在家庭内部分配的重要性。
Abstract Using data from the Philippines, we study the impact of mobile phones on the prices agricultural producers receive for their cash crop. We first look at the impact on price of mobile phone ownership at the household level. Because this masks a considerable amount of heterogeneity, we then look at the impact on price of the intrahousehold allocation of mobile phones. We find that whether the household owns a mobile phone has no impact on price, but whether a farmer or spouse owns a mobile phone is associated with a 5- to 8-per cent increase in price.
