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.<\/p>\n<p>For those of you without an institutional subscription, <a title=\"Lee and Bellemare (JDS, forthcoming)\" href=\"http:\/\/marcfbellemare.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/LeeBellemareMobilePhonesJDSFinal1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> is an ungated version of the paper.<\/p>\n<p>If you are looking for longer discussions of the paper, I have blogged about it\u00a0<a title=\"Mobile Phones: Does the Intrahousehold Allocation of Technology Matter?\" href=\"http:\/\/marcfbellemare.com\/wordpress\/2012\/09\/mobile-phones-does-the-intrahousehold-allocation-of-technology-matter-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> and <a title=\"Look Who\u2019s Talking: The Impacts of the Intrahousehold Allocation of Mobile Phones on Agricultural Prices\" href=\"http:\/\/marcfbellemare.com\/wordpress\/2012\/05\/look-whos-talking-the-impacts-of-the-intrahousehold-allocation-of-mobile-phones-on-agricultural-prices\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That&#8217;s the title of my most recent article, which was published by the Journal of Development Studies\u00a0just before the holidays: Using data from the Philippines,&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/marcfbellemare.com\/wordpress\/8060\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Mobile Phones, Agricultural Prices, and the Intrahousehold Allocation of Technology<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,16,55],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8060","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-agriculture","category-development","category-economics","entry"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1gPg8-260","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcfbellemare.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8060","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcfbellemare.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcfbellemare.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcfbellemare.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcfbellemare.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8060"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/marcfbellemare.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8060\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8079,"href":"https:\/\/marcfbellemare.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8060\/revisions\/8079"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcfbellemare.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8060"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcfbellemare.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8060"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcfbellemare.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8060"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
