Abstract

ABSTRACT The study assess mobile money demand for utility bill payments and identify factors that affect its adoption in Ethiopia. We use data from urban household survey and dichotomous choice experiment that randomly offer a range of prices for using mobile money to pay utility bills. We find that households are willing to pay a higher price to use mobile money than the actual price charged by current mobile money service providers for the payment of goods and services. However, demand is sensitive to price changes. Our findings suggest strong latent demand for mobile money in processing payments.

本研究评估了公用事业账单支付的移动货币需求,并确定了影响其在埃塞俄比亚采用的因素。我们使用城市住户调查数据和二分类选择实验,随机提供一系列使用移动货币支付水电费的价格。我们发现,家庭愿意支付比当前移动货币服务提供商支付商品和服务的实际价格更高的价格来使用移动货币。然而,需求对价格变化很敏感。我们的研究结果表明,移动支付在处理支付方面的潜在需求强劲。
