In this paper we utilize discrete choice experiment method to identify and measure switching costs and network effects in mobile telephony in Poland. Based on hypothetical choices consumers make we construct a conditional random parameters multinomial logit model to analyze their preferences. In...

The objective of this article is to analyze the degree of network effects in the mobile telecommunications market in Colombia, and identify other determinants of consumer choice based on a survey of uses and habits carried out by the National Consulting Center for the Commission of Regulation of...

Turkish consumer survey data is used to analyze the main factors that affect consumers' choice of different mobile telecommunications networks. The analysis shows that consumers' choice is significantly affected by the choices of other consumers with whom the consumer is more likely to interact....

I develop a structural demand model for mobile telephone service, which facilitates the identification of network effects and compatibility between networks. Network effects are measured by the dependence of consumer willingness to pay on the installed base of subscribers. Compatibility is...

The objective of this article is to analyze the degree of network effects in the mobile telecommunications market in Colombia, and identify other determinants of consumer choice based on a survey of uses and habits carried out by the National Consulting Center for the Commission of Regulation of...

This paper demonstrates how stated-preference methods can be applied for modelling consumers' preferences in mobile telecommunications, and for measuring network effects. This will be illustrated with a case study of mobile phone operators in Poland. A random parameters multinomial logit model...

Our study focuses on the identification and the measurement of switching costs and network effects in mobile telecommunications. Although these two phenomena create similar consumer lock-in mechanisms, there are no empirical studies that integrate them into one model of subscriber’s behavior....

The aim of this paper is to estimate the importance of (induced) network effects in the use of mobile telephones and the impact of the structure of social networks on a consumer's adoption decision. This is done using social network data obtained from a survey of second year undergraduate...
