      abstract = {Many development interventions involve training of  beneficiaries, based on the assumption that knowledge and  skills will spread “automatically” among a wider target  population. However, diffusion of knowledge (or  innovations) can be slow and incomplete. We use a  randomized field experiment in Uganda to assess the impact  of providing incentives for knowledge diffusion, and pay  trained individuals a fee if they share knowledge obtained  during a financial literacy training. Our main results are  that incentives increase knowledge sharing, and that it may  be cost-effective to provide such incentives. We also  document an absence of assortative matching in the social  learning process.},
