• The Economic Effects of Technological Progress: Evidence from the Banking Industry (2003, unknown): “…market concentration and competition (e.g., Hannan and McDowell 1984, Akhavein, Frame, and White 2001, Courchane, Nickerson, and Sullivan 2002, Gowrisankaran and Stavins 2002, Hauswald and Marquez, forthcoming), the adoption by other banks or network externalities (e.g., Saloner and Shepard…”
• Cocreation of Value in a Platform Ecosystem: The Case of Enterprise Software (2012, methodology): “Following prior studies (Forman et al. 2009; Gowrisankaran and Stavins 2004; Tucker 2008) we estimate the IPO regression using a linear probability model with firm fixed effects, due to the known difficulty of controlling for unobserved heterogeneity using panel data probit or logit models.”
• Platform Competition: A Systematic and Interdisciplinary Review of the Literature (2020, unknown): “…(e.g., Katz & Shapiro, 1985; Majumdar & Venkataraman, 1998), electronic payments and automated teller machine networks (ATMs) used by banks (e.g., Gowrisankaran & Stavins 2004; Kauffman, McAndrews & Wang, 2000; Salop, 1990), video cassette recorders (VCRs; e.g., Cusumano, Mylonadis &…”
• Network effects and the choice of mobile phone operator (2006, unknown): “Recent empirical studies include Goolsbee and Klenow (2002) on home computers, Berndt et al. (2003) on anti-ulcer drugs, Dranove and Gandal (2003) on DVD-players, Rysman (2004) on yellow pages and Gowrisankaran and Stavins (2004) on electronic payment.”
• Strategic online-banking adoption (2006, background): “2 Also in the context of ATMs, Saloner and Shepard (1995) and Gowrisankaran and Stavins (2004) study the network effects that technology adoption entails.”
• Exporting financial institutions management via foreign direct investment mergers and acquisitions (2004, unknown): “Large financial institutions have come to dominate electronic payments processing due to information-based scale economies (e.g., Hancock et al., 1999; Bauer and Higgins, 2002; Gowrisankaran and Stavins, 2002).”
• Informational Cascades and Software Adoption on the Internet: An Empirical Investigation (2009, background): “For example, the value of an electronic payment system to a commercial bank increases with the number of banks that adopt the same system (Gowrisankaran and Stavins 2004).”
