Banking on Trust: How Debit Cards Enable the Poor to Save More (2017, background): “Why do so few low-income families use formal savings vehicles even when they have low-cost, convenient access? A lack of trust in banks to not “steal” their savings— often through hidden and unexpected fees—is frequently listed as a primary reason (Dupas et al., 2016; FDIC, 2016).”
Why Don’t the Poor Save More? Evidence from Health Savings Experiments. (2013, unknown): “In other words, even if study participants knew about the social returns (which we do not think is the case, based on results in Dupas et al. 2012), this would bias our results downwards, as the private returns to a given product would be highest in the control group.”
Improving Access to Banking: Evidence from Kenya (2013, unknown): “First, Kenya has experienced a significant bank branch expansion in recent years, but it is still characterized by an important latent demand for banking services (Dupas et al., 2012).”
Banking the Unbanked: Evidence from Three Countries - Working Paper 440 (2016, background): “[15] Dupas, Pascaline, Sarah Green, Anthony Keats and Jonathan Robinson (2012).”
Factors influencing adoption of payments banks by Indian customers: extending UTAUT with perceived credibility (2019, unknown): “Second, traditional banking is associated with several disadvantages, such as long transaction queues, long-distance bank branches and short or changeable operating hours (Dupas et al., 2012).”
The Impact of Financial Inclusion on Economic Growth, Poverty, Income Inequality, and Financial Stability in Asia (2020, background): “In addition, Dupas et al. (2012) added that the increase in banking services did not cause an increase in financial stability because it was not followed by a decrease in borrowing costs for the lower middle class as well as an increase in service quality, and lack of trust.”
Minimum wage coverage and compliance in developing countries (2013, background): “…contexts will have to be examined in more detail, electronic wage payments and associated monitoring could indeed provide an avenue for enhanced compliance elsewhere, while also promoting the access of women and men living and working in rural areas to financial services (see Dupas et al., 2012).”
