The paper has implications for poverty-alleviation strategies and for financial services in developing countries. Aid programmes that try to reduce poverty by distributing livestock may be ineffective at raising incomes, if the returns from owning them are so poor. If cows are used as a means of saving, the spread of mobile banking in places like India will provide another, better option. Even then the problem of temptation spending arises. Dean Karlan, one of the authors, is interested in the idea of “commitment savings accounts”, whereby people forgo their right to withdraw funds until they reach a specified level.

'''Corvid-19''' Premierminister Narendra Modi har i en tv-tale oplyst, at Indien fra midnat natten til onsdag 25. marts 2020 vil være lukket fuldstændig ned for at bremse spredningen af coronavirus. "Det vil være et totalt forbud mod at bevæge sig uden for sit hjem", sagde han. Indien har foreløbig meldt om 482 bekræftede smittede og 9 er døde. Der bor over 1,3 mia. mennesker i Indien. Læger og forskere har advaret om, at over en million indere kan være smittet af coronavirus inden midten af maj. (Reuter, citat fra JP 25.3.2020 s. 14).
