We test this using a randomized control trial with 152 female microfinance groups in Tanzania where treated groups were randomly switched to repay their loan using mobile money instead of the usual method of cash. We find that this exogenous shift in the way that women use mobile money for loan repayment increases their use of mobile money for other transactions. Women’s control over their finances increases\, they have higher levels of empowerment in the household and expenditures shift towards goods aligned with their preferences. We see small positive effects of the shift to mobile money repayment on loan repayment behavior and social cohesion within the microfinance group. These findings highlight the benefits that encouraging greater use of digital technologies can bring to women.\nJoin us in person at ISR (Thompson Street) Room 1430.\n\nOr online: Join Zoom Meeting\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/95418610585?pwd=Z0cvdkF1T0R2cG1lRDEvVmlnbVdlZz09\n\nMeeting ID: 954 1861 0585\nPasscode: 818420\nOne tap mobile\n+13017158592\,\,95418610585# US (Washington DC)\n+13092053325\,\,95418610585# US\n\nDial by your location\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 309 205 3325 US\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 646 876 9923 US (New York)\n+1 646 931 3860 US\n+1 564 217 2000 US\n+1 669 444 9171 US\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 719 359 4580 US\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 386 347 5053 US\n+1 647 374 4685 Canada\n+1 647 558 0588 Canada\n+1 778 907 2071 Canada\n+1 780 666 0144 Canada\n+1 204 272 7920 Canada\n+1 438 809 7799 Canada\n+1 587 328 1099 Canada\nMeeting ID: 954 1861 0585\nFind your local number: https://umich.zoom.us/u/aCRAyuQaT\n\nJoin by SIP\n95418610585@zoomcrc.com\n\nJoin by H.323\n162.255.37.11 (US West)\n162.255.36.11 (US East)\n115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n213.19.144.110 (Amsterdam Netherlands)\n213.244.140.110 (Germany)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia Sydney)\n103.122.167.55 (Australia Melbourne)\n149.137.40.110 (Singapore)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n149.137.68.253 (Mexico)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada Toronto)\n65.39.152.160 (Canada Vancouver)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan Tokyo)\n149.137.24.110 (Japan Osaka)\nMeeting ID: 954 1861 0585\nPasscode: 818420 UID:119925-21843827@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/119925 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economic Life,Sociology,Social Sciences,Population Studies Center,Microeconomics,Global And Transnational,Economics,Africa LOCATION:Institute For Social Research - 1430 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240416T111905 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240422T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240422T150000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Robotics Demo Days Winter 2024 DESCRIPTION:As the semester comes to a close\, come see what robotics students have been working on!\n\nRobotics Demo Days\nThursday\, April 18 - Wednesday\, May 1\nFord Motor Company Robotics Building\n\nThursday\, April 18\n▪ ROB 498: Design for Human-Robot Interaction / Demos / 12pm to 1:30pm in TBD\n\nMonday\, April 22\n▪ ROB 450: Capstone / Demos and presentations / 12:30pm to 3:30 in Atrium\n\nTuesday\, April 23\n▪ ROB 498: Design for Human-Robot Interaction / Demos / 12pm to 1:30pm in 2000 FRB\n▪ ROB 550: Robotic Systems Lab / Competition / All day in 2010 & Atrium\n▪ ROB 560: Bioinspired Robotic Design / Presentations / begins at 12:30pm in Atrium\n\nFriday\, April 26\n▪ EECS 467: Autonomous Robotics / Showcase / 1pm to 3:30 in Atrium\n\nWednesday\, May 1\n▪ ROB 550: Robotic Systems Lab / Competition / All day in 2010 & Atrium UID:121504-21846628@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/121504 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Michigan Robotics,Robotics LOCATION:Ford Robotics Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240507T123114 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240422T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240422T140000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:AAAS STPF Live Chat: Taking Your Technical Expertise to AI Policy DESCRIPTION:STPF has the ability to immediately contribute AI-relevant expertise to Congress via a unique cohort of fellows who are expert in artificial intelligence. Deliberation and decision-making on this powerful newtechnology demands expertise now. This cohort will be at the ready as embedded staff members in Congress’ personal and committee offices to provide knowledge\, experience and guidance in support of smart policies starting this September.\n\nPlanning to apply this year?  The AAAS Rapid Response AI Cohort application is now open!
