“…With increasing educational levels (from middle school to college), we found that the probability of adopting mobile payment increased monotonically from 8.7% to 20.9%. Education improves people's understanding of the benefits associated with new technologies, motivating them to adopt mobile payments (Vatsa, Ma, & Zheng, 2022).…”

“…Cao (2021) argued that adopting mobile payments has helped Chinese small and medium‐sized enterprises overcome operational challenges. Mobile payments are rapidly transforming China into a cashless society (Huang et al, 2020; Vatsa, Ma, & Zheng, 2022; Zheng & Ma, 2022). This transformation has been driven by comprehensive rules and regulations, a shortage of alternative payment services, and continuous technological development (Huang et al, 2020).…”

This paper estimates the effects of mobile payment adoption on household expenditures and people's subjective well‐being. We consider four categories of household expenditures (that on clothes, durable goods, consumer goods, and cultural and leisure activities) and four indicators (life satisfaction, contentment, income satisfaction, and depression) of subjective well‐being. We use the Augmented Inverse Probability Weighting estimator to analyze the 2017 Chinese General Social Survey data while accounting for the selection bias inherent in mobile payment adoption. The empirical results show that people's decisions to adopt mobile payment are positively associated with their educational levels, car ownership, social interaction, internet penetration rate, and residential location. Mobile payment adoption significantly increases household expenditures on consumer goods and cultural and leisure activities but not on expenditures on clothes and durable goods. Moreover, mobile payment adoption significantly decreases people's contentment while increasing depression. We also find that mobile payment adoption significantly decreases the contentment of urban people but significantly increases the depression of rural people.

“…Online retailers and most brick‐and‐mortar shops accept payments through mobile applications. Low risk of theft, reliable transactions, convenience, low transaction costs, and wide acceptance are spurring mobile payment adoption (He et al, 2023; Huang et al, 2020; Song et al, 2023; Vatsa et al, 2022; Zheng & Ma, 2022a). The rapid growth of e‐commerce, driven by rising incomes, inexpensive warehousing and delivery, the diversity and depth of products and services available online, relatively low physical shop space per person, and high internet penetration are also contributing to the rising adoption of mobile payment solutions (Couture et al, 2021; Haji, 2021).…”

Although mobile payment adoption has risen steeply, relatively little is known about whether and how demographic and socioeconomic factors, subjective well‐being, political affiliation, and health status are associated with mobile payment adoption. Using 2017 Chinese General Social Survey data on 11,628 individuals, we show that Chinese people's decisions to adopt mobile payment solutions are positively and significantly associated with education, perception of health and economic status, Chinese Communist Party membership, full‐time work, income, social participation, car ownership, internet penetration rate, and residential location. Age is negatively associated with mobile payment adoption, and men are less likely than women to use mobile payment solutions; subject well‐being is not associated with mobile payment adoption.
