We seek to determine the causes and magnitudes of network externalities for the automated clearinghouse (ACH) electronic payments system. We construct an equilibrium model of customer and bank adoption of ACH. We structurally estimate the parameters of the model using an indirect inference...

We seek to estimate the causes and magnitudes of network externalities for the automated clearinghouse (ACH) electronic payments system, using a panel data set on individual bank usage of ACH. We construct an equilibrium model of consumer and bank adoption of ACH in the presence of a network....

We estimate a structural model of the market for automatic tellermachines (ATMs) in order to evaluate the implications of regulating ATMsurcharges on ATM entry and consumer and producer surplus. We estimatethe model using data on firm and consumer locations, and identify theparameters of the...
