Design/methodology/approach – Robust Ordinary Least Squares and Two Stage Least Squares empirical strategies are employed. Findings – The findings suggest that mobile penetration is pro-poor, as it has a positive income equality effect. Social implications – ‘Mobile phone’-oriented poverty reduction channels are discussed. Originality/value – It deviates from mainstream country-specific and microeconomic surveybased approaches in the literature and provides the first macroeconomic assessment of the ‘mobile phone’-inequality nexus.}, keywords = {Mobile Phones; Shadow Economy; Poverty; Inequality; Africa}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {workingpaper} } Purpose – The aim of this paper is to complement theoretical and qualitative literature with empirical evidence on the income-redistributive effect of mobile phone penetration in 52 African countries.
