Data and code for: Financial Spillover Effects from Electronic Government Transfers: Evidence from an At-Scale Experiment in Indonesia

We examine how welfare reform from in-kind distribution to electronic vouchers distributed through the banking system affects financial inclusion. The Government of Indonesia randomized across 105 districts the transition from in-kind rice to approximately equivalent electronic vouchers redeemable for rice and eggs at a network of shops equipped as point-of-service remote banking agents, capable of processing the vouchers, as well as other basic banking transactions. We test whether the transition had effects on financial access, spillovers to other government programs, and small business development.
