The results of this study indicated that consumers had a favorable attitude toward advertising by lawyers, though some specific
differences were found between users and nonusers of legal services. The importance of consumer demographic characteristics
and the appropriateness of advertising media were also examined. The major implication is that the traditional void in advertising
activity by lawyers should now be reexamined. 相似文献

For group decision about shared goods, the nature of the shared good and how its cost is to be shared among group members must be determined. Complexity arises from heterogeneity in preferences and endowments and nonlinear cost. To facilitate group decision, this paper proposes special type of group decision support system, a cost share adjustment process (CSAP), in which cost shares are adjusted iteratively via algorithmic rules until unanimity is reached, ideally producing a socially optimal, cost feasible, and fair outcome. In contrast to public good literature, our designs apply for situations of nonlinear cost, with economies of scale and fixed costs. In response to impossibility theorems, a design approach is developed: design elements for CSAPs include message space, cost allocation and adjustment rules, controllers, and incentive rules, with many possibilities for specifying a process. Simulation and economic experiment are employed to compare alternative designs, in particular highlighting the incentive effects of message space. As simulation and experiment both indicate, complicated cost allocation rules for incentive purposes may impede locating group agreement. Instead, economic experiments show that unanimity Approval Voting can mitigate the effects of strategic behavior. 相似文献

This paper uses new survey data to investigate the covariates of self-reported switching costs and switching behavior by deposit account holders. Factors affecting geographic mobility appear to be most important in explaining the duration of deposit relationships. Both younger and older respondents are more likely than others to be at their first bank ever, suggesting a cohort effect in deposit relationships. Households reporting switching costs, net of the benefits from switching, are less likely than others to have stayed with a bank for prices or customer service, suggesting that switching costs may decrease price sensitivity. Switching costs appear more severe for households with high income or education and for households with very low income or minority ethnicity. These findings imply that banking markets characterized by such households may present greater entry costs for new firms. 相似文献

Dramatic changes have occurred in the U.S. payment system over the past two decades, most notably an explosion in electronic card-based payments. This shift has led to a series of policy debates driven in part by consumers' choice of payment instruments. Using a new nationally representative survey, we transform consumer responses to open-ended questions into product rankings and estimate a characteristics-based rank-order logit model in order to quantify consumer substitution among payment methods. Our estimates are then used to conduct supply-driven and demand-driven counterfactual experiments in order to estimate market share and cost effects. From a counterfactual experiment in which merchants stop accepting credit cards, we predict merchant costs to decline substantially. Because merchants accept credit cards nonetheless, we regard our finding as evidence either that the credit card networks hold market power, or that merchants experience unmeasured intangible benefits from credit card acceptance. We also predict that contactless debit will take market share from cash, checks, and credit, and that the age/cohort effect alone is unlikely to cause debit card use to increase substantially over a 10-year period. 相似文献

This article rationalizes public enterprise by analyzing the constitutional choice between private and public ownership of
production arrangements. Arguing that results depend on who does the choosing, the article compares choices by self-governing
citizens with choices by self-directed governmental officials. The resulting institutional theory identifies four conditions
that cause citizens to favor public over private ownership. None of the conditions refers to the standard concept of economic
efficiency, which guides most economic comparisons of public and private enterprise. 相似文献
