【报告内容】

Using a novel dataset comprising 1,515,409 verdicts from China, along with an index that measures the extent of mobile payment usage, we find that a one standard deviation increase in mobile payment use leads to an 11% decrease in theft rates. Furthermore, this effect is more pronounced in areas with a higher prevalence of cash transactions. These findings suggest that reduced cash circulation in society due to mobile payment use may decrease incentives for stealing. However, we find no evidence to suggest that mobile payment usage influences other crimes like robbery, arson, brawling, homicide, and serious injury by vehicle.
