| Abstract | Mobile money allows households in Kenya to spread risk more efficiently.

Active networks are more geographically dispersed and support more reciprocal financial arrangements. Consistent with the reported reciprocity, mobile money users report a higher share of transactions as being for credit and insurance purposes. |
