Does Quality Win? Network Effects versus Quality in High-Tech Markets (2009, unknown): “These studies focus on proving the presence of network effects (Nair, Chintagunta, and Dube 2004), investigating the nature of network effects (Shankar and Bayus 2003), or analyzing the role of network effects in diffusion (Gupta, Jain, and Sawhney 1999).”
Empirical Analysis of Indirect Network Effects in the Market for Personal Digital Assistants (2004, background): “Such indirect network effects have been studied empirically in the context of VCRs and video movies (Ohashi, 2003; Park, 2002a), video games and video consoles (Shankar and Bayus, 2003), and CD/DVD players and CD/DVD titles (Gandal et al., 2000; Basu et al., 2003; Karaca-Mandic, 2003).”
Platform Competition: A Systematic and Interdisciplinary Review of the Literature (2020, unknown): “…economics and dynamic monopoly theory (e.g., Bensaid & Lesne, 1996; McCabe & Snyder, 2018; Rochet & Tirole, 2003), the resource-based view (e.g., Shankar & Bayus, 2003; M. Sun & Tse, 2009), dynamic capabilities (e.g., Helfat & Raubitschek, 2018; Pierce, 2009), modularity theory (e.g.,…”
The Economics of Standards Wars (2004, background): “Another interesting recent empirical study is Shankar and Bayus (2003).”
First in, First out? The Effects of Network Externalities on Pioneer Survival (2004, background): “…for the network externalities measure range from 2 (no network externalities) to 14 (high network externalities), the ratings of the products we studied ranged from 3.4 (electric toothbrush) to 12.1 (operating system for personal computers), with a mean of 7.7 and a standard deviation of 2.2.”

The Emergence of Dominant Designs (2006, unknown): “Alternatively, researchers could consider focusing on a specific product category (e.g., Shankar and Bayus 2003), which may enable the use of objective measures within the product category.”
Cross-Market Network Effect with Asymmetric Customer Loyalty: Implications for Competitive Advantage (2007, background): “The Shankar and Bayus (2003), Basu et al. (2003), Srinivasan et al. (2004), Sun et al. (2004), Harikesh et al. (2004), Chakravarti and Xie (2006), and Wang and Xie (2006). loyalty difference can stem from a variety of sources or factors.”
Optimal distinctiveness: Broadening the interface between institutional theory and strategic management (2017, background): “These categories build on technological advances in hardware and software, and are propelled by gamers’ fast-changing tastes (Bayus and Shankar, 2003; Clements and Ohashi, 2005).”
