Des innovations monétaires, donnant à la monnaie des formes et des caractéristiques nouvelles, sont aujourd’hui utilisées dans le but de favoriser le processus de développement économique. Au Kenya, elles se concrétisent dans les systèmes de monnaie mobile tels que le M-Pesa, ainsi que dans plusieurs monnaies locales mises en place sur le modèle du Bangla-Pesa. Ces monnaies ont des natures et des logiques divergentes, dont la thèse vise à en montrer les impacts et les implications. Pour cela, nous utilisons notamment des données issues de deux enquêtes de terrain.Les innovations monétaires interpellent les théories du développement, qui ont largement exclu la monnaie de leurs analyses, et qui la considèrent généralement comme étant neutre. L’étude de ces dispositifs nous permet de poser les bases d’une théorie monétaire du développement, en questionnant ce faisant le sens à donner au concept de développement, et les rôles que doivent jouer pour celui-ci la monnaie et la finance. / Monetary innovations, giving money new forms and characteristics, are now used to promote the process of economic development. In Kenya, they unfold in mobile money systems such as M-Pesa, as well as in several local currencies implemented on the model of the Bangla-Pesa. These monies have different natures and logics, and the thesis aims to show their impacts and implications. For this, we use data from two field surveys.Monetary innovations challenge development theories, which have largely excluded money from their analyzes, and which generally consider it to be neutral. The study of these schemes allow us to lay the foundations of a monetary theory of development. By doing so, we question the meaning of the concept of development, and the roles that money and finance have to play for it.

Os pequenos negócios são importantes agentes nas economias globais, tanto dos países desenvolvidos ou em desenvolvimento. No entanto, historicamente esse segmento apresenta dificuldades para obter acesso a produtos e serviços financeiros formais no mercado bancário tradicional. Como alternativa para a inclusão financeira dos pequenos negócios, surgem as cooperativas de crédito, que atuando em rede realizam práticas que geram ativos de conhecimento relevantes para a inclusão financeira dessas empresas. O estudo tem como objetivo identificar as principais práticas colaborativas de criação de conhecimento, realizadas em redes de cooperativas de crédito, e como elas mobilizam diferentes tipos de conhecimento capazes de gerar ativos que fomentam a inclusão financeira. Para investigar e aprofundar o problema, foi realizada uma pesquisa empírica em três Redes de Cooperativas de Crédito voltadas à criação de conhecimento para a inclusão financeira de pequenos negócios, situadas nos estados do Mato Grosso, Paraná e Minas Gerais, bem como a coordenação nacional das Redes, que é realizada pelo Serviço Brasileiro de Apoio às Micro e Pequenas Empresas (Sebrae). Os resultados permitem realizar uma descrição das principais práticas e do contexto necessário para que a realização dessas práticas colaborativas tenha relação com o fomento da inclusão financeira de pequenos negócios. / This dissertation addresses the theme of collaborative practices of knowledge creation in credit cooperative networks. Small businesses are important players in world economies, whether in developed or developing countries. However, historically this segment presents difficulties in obtaining access to formal financial products and services in the traditional banking market. As an alternative to the financial inclusion of small businesses, credit cooperatives emerge that, acting in networks, carry out practices that generate knowledge assets relevant to the financial inclusion of these companies. The study aims to identify the main collaborative practices of knowledge creation, carried out in networks of credit cooperatives, and how they mobilize different types of knowledge capable of generating assets that foster financial inclusion. In order to investigate and deepen the problem, an empirical research was carried out on three Credit Cooperative Networks aimed at creating knowledge for the financial inclusion of small businesses located in the states of Mato Grosso, Paraná and Minas Gerais, as well as the national coordination of Networks, which is carried out by the Brazilian Micro and Small Business Support Service (Sebrae). The results allow a description of the main practices and the context necessary for the accomplishment of these collaborative practices to be related to the promotion of financial inclusion of small businesses.

Cette thèse étudie les systèmes bancaires africains et se concentre tout particulièrement sur la question de l’actionnariat bancaire et de ses impacts. Le premier chapitre étudie l’efficience de coût. Les banques étrangères sont plus efficientes que les banques domestiques et les banques panafricaines sont les banques les plus efficientes du continent. Le second chapitre étudie la cyclicité des portefeuilles de prêt. La croissance des prêts des banques africaines est sensible à l’évolution de la croissance du PIB par habitant. Les banques panafricaines ont une croissance des prêts moins cyclique. La croissance des prêts des banques étrangères est sensible à l’évolution de la croissance dans leur pays d’origine. Les chapitres trois et quatre étudient l’inclusion financière. La probabilité d’être inclus financièrement augmente lorsque l’individu est de sexe masculin, a un revenu plus élevé, une éducation plus importante, et est plus âgé jusqu’à un certain seuil. La présence des banques panafricaines augmente l’accès au crédit des entreprises. Les banques panafricaines augmenteraient aussi l’inclusion financière des ménages, mais ce résultat est moins robuste. La conclusion générale de cette thèse souligne le rôle nouveau et bénéfique que jouent les banques panafricaines sur le continent. Ces jeunes institutions financières augmentent l’efficience de coût, diminuent la cyclicité des portefeuilles de prêt, et améliorent l’inclusion financière. / This dissertation studies African financial systems with a focus on bank ownership. Chapter one studies cost efficiency. Foreign banks are more efficient than domestic banks, and Pan-African banks are the most efficient banks on the continent. Chapter two analyses lending procyclicality. Lending growth of African banks is sensitive to the GDP per capita growth. Pan-African banks have a less pro-cyclical lending behaviour. Lending growth of African foreign banks is sensitive to GDP per capita growth in their home country. Chapter three and four study financial inclusion. Being male, wealthier, more educated and older to a certain extent increases the likelihood to be financially included. Pan-African banks presence increases firms’ access to credit. Pan-African banks would also increase households’ financial inclusion, but such result is less robust.The general conclusion of this dissertation underlines the new, beneficial role Pan-African banks play on the continent. These young financial institutions increase cost efficiency, reduce cyclicality of lending and improve financial inclusion.

L’évolution des nouvelles pratiques de l’investissement socialement responsable ouvre la voie à des modes d’organisation innovants. Un grand marché est né entre l’offre et la demande, de nouvelles « architectures transactionnelles » proposant des émissions obligataires socialement responsables voient le jour. L’objectif étant de créer la liquidité et de contribuer au développement économique et social. L'étude des arrangements organisationnels qui ont abouti à émettre une obligation socialement responsable à destination de la société de gestion se nourrit de deux expériences pionnières. Le contexte organisationnel nous amène à nous interroger sur la place du gérant de fonds dans le financement de l’économie solidaire. La société de gestion de portefeuille, acteur majeur au coeur des modes d’organisations, se positionne entre les émetteurs d’obligations et les investisseurs souhaitant intégrer des critères extra-financiers dans leurs choix de sélection de portefeuille. La problématique de notre travail de recherche s'intéresse à l'étude de l’attractivité des gestionnaires d’actifs face à des mécanismes différenciés d' Economie Sociale et Solidaire. Ainsi, dans le cadre de cette thèse, nous proposons d'étudier la perception du point de vue du gérant de fonds de deux modes d'organisation différents, qui aboutissent à la construction d'un produit qualifié d’ISR dans le sens où il répond aux attentes des investisseurs souhaitant intégrer des dimensions extra-financières dans leurs choix de sélection de produits. Dans cette optique, le gérant de fonds ISR est amené à prendre des décisions quant au choix des produits dans son processus de construction du portefeuille. Il joue un double rôle de constructeur de performance ESG et d'intermédiaire financier et doit faire face à un ensemble de contraintes de gestion mais aussi vis-à-vis de ses partenaires. / The evolution of the new practices of the socially responsible investment opens the way for innovative modes of organization. A big market was born between supply and demand, new "transactional architectures" proposing socially responsible bond issues. The objective being to create the liquidity and to contribute to the economic and social development.The study of the organizational arrangements which succeeded to emit a socially responsible obligation aimed at the management company feeds on two experiences pioneers. The organizational context brings us to wonder about the place of the fund manager in the financing of the united economy. The asset management, at the heart of the organization modes, is positioned between the bond issuer and the investors wishing to integrate extra-financial dimension into their choices of selection of asset.The problem of our research work is interested in the study of the attractiveness of the asset managers in the face of mechanisms differentiated of Voluntary and united Sector.So, within the framework of this thesis, we suggest studying the perception from the point of view of the fund manager of two different modes of organization, which end in the construction of a product qualified as SRI in the sense where he meets the expectations of investors wishing to integrate extra-financial dimensions into their choices of selection of products.From this perspective, the fund manager SRI is brought to make decisions as for the choice of products in its process of construction of the portfolio. He plays double role of construction social performance and financial intermediary and has to face a set of constraints of management but also towards these partners.

Financial inclusion is a public policy objective that fosters development through access to financial services for all. Financial inclusion can be defined as access, usage and quality of financial services. Inclusion of individuals and small enterprises has made considerable progress but it has also reached excesses in some situations. Regulatory changes and technological innovation have helped the expansion of financial services. Our contribution to the literature is threefold. First, we expand the large body of research that focuses on financial inclusion based on access to credit, through our analysis of payments. We provide an unique analysis of the quality dimension of payments, which we define as a catalyst between the access and usage dimensions. Second, we provide a detailed analysis of the Brazilian payment market, which transacts close to $400bn per year, in the scarce literature on developing countries. Third, we isolate the determinants of electronic payments through statistical methods, including a principal component analysis and auto regressive models (SARIMA, SARIMAX), which have not yet been used by researchers. We find that four macro characteristicshave a strong explanatory power: bank credit card lending, active population, retail sales and cash-in-circulation. Suprisingly, we find that cash-in-circulation presents a positive relationship with electronic payments, suggesting a possible distrust of citizens towards the banking system, high levels of informality, and shedding a new light on the precautionary principle described by Keynes. Our analysis is based on monthly deflated card payment data for Brazil from January 2007 to March 2017. / A Inclusão financeira é um objetivo de política pública que procura desenvolvimento através do acesso de todos aos serviços financeiros. Esse conceito pode ser definido com as suas três dimensões de acesso, uso e qualidade dos serviços. A inclusão de indivíduos e empresas conheceu uma melhora significativa, e em algum casos, apresentou excessos. Adaptações regulatórias e inovação tecnológica serviram de pano de fundo para a inclusão. Apresentamos as três contribuições da nossa pesquisa. Primeiro, existe ampla literatura sobre inclusão financeira com foco em crédito, e apresentamos um estudo original sobre pagamentos e sua dimensão de qualidade, definida como o catalisador entre acesso e uso. Segundo: nossa pesquisa apresenta uma análise única do setor de pagamentos no Brasil, um setor com faturamento de mais de R$1.2 trilhões de reais anuais, no âmbito da escassa literatura sobre economias em desenvolvimento. A terceira contribuição apresenta os determinantes dos meios de pagamentos eletrônicos, usando modelos estatísticos originais, como componentes principais e modelos auto regressivos (SARIMA, SARIMAX), que não tinham sido usados na literatura de inclusão financeira. Identificamos quatro características com significância para explicar meios eletrônicos: crédito bancário, população ativa, vendas do varejo e dinheiro em posse das famílias. De maneira surpreendente, dinheiro em posse das famílias apresentou correlação positiva com meios eletrônicos, sinalizando uma desconfiança dos consumidores com o setor bancário ou um maior grau de informalidade da economia brasileira, e trazendo uma interpretação original ao princípio de precaução descrito por Keynes. Nossa pesquisa se baseou em dados agregados e deflacionados de pagamentos para o Brasil entre Janeiro de 2007 e Março de 2017.

Financial inclusion is a measure of the ability of a population to make use of financial services. High rates of financial inclusion in a country are empirically correlated with high levels of economic development in that country; low rates of financial inclusion are correlated with low levels of development. Thus, policy makers are generally agreed that one method to increase economic development is to increase the level of financial inclusion. Not all attempts to increase financial inclusion are successful. Initiatives to improve financial inclusion can fail when policy makers or financial service providers have incorrect perceptions about financial inclusion. They may have incorrect perceptions about the purposes and beneficiaries of financial inclusion, or incorrect perceptions about how technology can encourage financial inclusion. This thesis investigates the perceptions of Pakistani bankers about financial inclusion in Pakistan. A survey of 125 Pakistani bankers was conducted. The results of the survey show that while bankers want to improve financial inclusion, they have perceptions that limit their effectiveness in reaching this goal. First, bankers’ perceptions of the actual financial inclusion levels in the country are higher than generally accepted empirical measures. Second, their perceptions about the reasons for financial exclusion are limited to socio-economic factors like low income and education of people. Finally, they have limited appreciation of the role that technology can play in elevating the level of financial inclusion. Bankers show more interest in customer-facing technology than in back-end technical infrastructure, thus limiting the scalability and interoperability of their systems. Our guidance to policy makers is to address these perceptual problems through education and through government-backed technical infrastructure programs, thus better enabling the banking industry to improve financial inclusion in Pakistan.

Cette thèse étudie les déterminants de l'adoption des services financiers par téléphonie mobile et ses conséquences sur les comportements financiers individuels dans les pays en développement. Elle est composée de trois chapitres/articles auto-référents. Le premier chapitre étudie l'adoption croissante des services financiers par téléphonie mobile dans les pays en développement en distinguant mobile money (utilisation du mobile pour accéder à des services financiers) et mobile banking (services financiers liés à un compte bancaire accessibles par téléphonie mobile) et en confrontant l'Afrique Sub-Saharienne aux autres pays en développement. L'étude montre que le mobile money est plus répandu que le mobile banking dans les pays en développement mais plus encore en Afrique Sub-Saharienne. Les déterminants de son adoption sont liés aux facteurs macroéconomiques, à l'étendue des services financiers et des activités d'intermédiation du secteur bancaire dans chaque pays et surtout de l'ampleur des transferts d'argent des migrants. Le chapitre 2 analyse l'impact de l'adoption du mobile money sur le comportement individuel d'épargne à partir de données d'une enquête de terrain menée au Burkina Faso en 2014. En distinguant l'épargne selon qu'elle est constitué pour des événements prévisibles ou non, les résultats montrent que le mobile money a un impact favorable sur l'épargne lorsqu'elle est destinée à faire face à des événements imprévisibles et plus particulièrement à d'éventuels problèmes de santé. Les résultats plus précis révèlent que ce sont en fait les groupes défavorisés à qui le mobile money permet effectivement de développer cette capacité d'épargne, la sécurité et la possibilité de transferts d'argent dans la sous-région apparaissent comme les principaux facteurs explicatifs. Le chapitre 3 exploite ces données d'enquête en étudiant l'impact de l'adoption du mobile money sur l'utilisation des services financiers traditionnels (formels et informels). L'analyse montre que les utilisateurs du mobile money le privilégient pour effectuer leurs dépôts grâce aux avantages qu'il apporte en termes d'accès, de coût, de liquidité et de confidentialité par rapport aux services financiers traditionnels. Cependant, l'étude révèle que l'utilisation du mobile money renforce l'accès des usagers des services financiers informels et des groupes défavorisés à la fois aux banques et aux caisses d'épargne. / This dissertation investigates determinants of mobile financial technology adoption and its consequences on individual financial behaviors in developing countries. It is structured around three chapters/self-contained papers. The first chapter explores the growing adoption of mobile financial technology in developing countries by distinguishing mobile money (use of a mobile phone to access financial services) from mobile banking (access of banking services using a mobile phone) and setting Sub-Saharan Africa against other developing countries. The results show that mobile money adoption dominates mobile banking in developing countries especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. Determinants of its adoption include macroeconomic factors, outreach of financial services, banking sector intermediation activities and especially remittances. The second chapter analyzes the impact of mobile money adoption on individual saving behavior by using individual-level survey data that we designed and conducted in 2014 in Burkina Faso. By distinguishing saving for predictable events from that for unpredictable events, the findings show that mobile money has a positive impact only on saving for unpredictable events especially saving for health emergencies. Precisely, the results show that disadvantaged groups who use mobile money are likely to save for health emergencies, and that safety and the availability of money transfers within the sub-region appear as factors that may explain the use of mobile money to save for health emergencies. The third chapter exploits the same survey data to analyze the impact of mobile money adoption on the usage of traditional (formal and informal) financial services. The results show that mobile money is preferred for deposits over traditional financial services because of the convenience that it provides in terms of relative access, risk, liquidity and privacy. Interestingly, the results reveal that the use of mobile money brings participants in informal deposit mechanisms and disadvantaged groups toward banks and credit unions.

The marginal but growing role of credit unions in the usage of correspondents has not received much attention from academics, despite the appraised importance of credit unions in finance of proximity. This thesis takes a multi-method approach to perform an exploratory research of credit union correspondents in Brazil. The research objective is two-fold, aiming, from one side, at understanding the incentives of credit unions for contracting correspondents and, from the other, at evaluating whether credit union correspondents improve financial inclusion. The research consists of a case study and quantitative analysis of correspondent registration data and credit union financials. The results indicate that generally the largest and most profitable credit unions use banking correspondents in order to improve efficiency and decrease waiting lines, while promoting financial inclusion only in one restricted dimension – bill payment. Nevertheless, in 2014, credit union correspondents had an important role in providing access to payments in 690 municipalities, of which 200 had low financial depth. Despite the scope limitation of credit union correspondents, the results give reasons to believe that these actors could increase their importance in the promotion of financial inclusion in the future. / A rede de correspondentes bancários do Brasil tem sido estudada há mais de uma década, em particular por causa da sua importância no aumento do alcance de serviços financeiros para regiões distantes dos maiores centros urbanos. O uso de correspondentes por cooperativas de crédito não tem recebido destaque, apesar do papel importante das cooperativas na inclusão financeira. Esta dissertação adota uma abordagem 'multimétodo' para efetuar uma pesquisa exploratória dos correspondentes de cooperativas de crédito no Brasil. A pesquisa visa, por um lado, alargar a compreensão dos incentivos que levam cooperativas a usarem correspondentes, e por outro, avaliar se esses correspondentes merlhoram a inclusão financeira. A pesquisa é formada por um estudo de caso assim como por análise de dados relativos ao registro de correspondentes bancários e de dados financeiros das cooperativas. Os resultados apontam que o uso de correspondentes bancários por cooperativas está relacionado à busca de maior eficiência e redução de filas nas agências. A melhoria da inclusão financeira por esses correspondentes limita-se a um serviço único – o recebimento de pagamentos. Não obstante, em 2014, cooperativas de correspondentes de crédito tinham um papel importante no fornecimento de serviços de recebimento de contas em 690 municípios brasileiros, dos quais 200 tinham baixos níveis de inclusão financeira. Apesar da escassa disponibilidade de serviços dos correspondentes das cooperativas, os resultados sugerem que esses atores poderiam adquirir uma importância maior na promoção de inclusão financeira no futuro.

Our purpose is to determine whether fostering the development of mobile money can be a useful tool to reinforce women empowerment in developing countries. We perform an exploratory data analysis, as well as correlation and regression analyses, to assess the effect of mobile money services on women empowerment. In order to do that, we construct several mobile money variables and a women empowerment index, using national-level data collected through questionnaires addressed by the World Bank on selected samples. Our results show a positive yet moderate relationship, and pave the way for further research on this subject. / Esta dissertação analisa a relação entre a expansão dos serviços de mobile money e o empoderamento das mulheres na África Subsariana. O propósito é determinar se mobile money pode ser um instrumento útil para reforçar o empoderamento das mulheres dos países em desenvolvimento. Realizamos uma análise exploratória dos dados através de correlações e regressões para avaliar o efeito dos serviços de mobile money sobre o empoderamento das mulheres. Criamos diversas variáveis associadas os serviços de mobile money e um index do empoderamento das mulheres utilizando dados do Banco Mundial. Nossos resultados mostram uma relação positiva mas moderada, preparando caminho para outras pesquisas.
