英文文献摘要：
The object of this paper is to complement theoretical ‘mobile penetration’ literature with empirical evidence in a dual manner: on the one hand, assess the income-redistributive effect of mobile phone penetration and; on the other hand, the instrumentality of good governance in this nexus. Main findings suggest an equalizing income-redistributive effect, with a higher magnitude in the presence of government quality instruments. It follows that, good governance is a necessary condition for a higher income-equalizing effect of mobile phone penetration. The empirical evidence which deviates from mainstream country-specific and microeconomic survey-based approaches is on 52 African countries. ‘Mobile phone’-oriented poverty reduction channels are also discussed.

本文的目的是用实证证据从两方面补充“移动普及率”理论文献:一方面，评估移动电话普及率的收入再分配效应;另一方面，善治在这一关系中的作用。主要研究结果表明，收入再分配效应趋于均衡，而政府质量工具的存在程度更高。由此可见，良好的治理是提高手机普及率收入均等化效果的必要条件。与以具体国家和微观经济调查为基础的主流方法不同的经验证据是关于52个非洲国家的。以“手机”为导向的扶贫渠道也被讨论。
