  1. Table 3 presents results from the logit models. Columns 1 and 2 presents the odds ratios and standard errors with the outcome variable as binary (have adopted mobile in the first year of introduction = 1; did not adopt mobile money during the first year of introduction = 0). Columns 3 and 4 presents the odds ratios and standard errors from the logit model with the outcome variable as binary (have adopted mobile in the first two years of mobile money introduction = 1; did not adopt mobile money during the first two years of introduction = 0). *p < 0.1; **p < 0.05; ***p < 0.01.
