Sub-type Working paper Author Leibbrandt, Gottfried Title Alle Giro's Werden Br゚der? Harmonizing Europe's payment systems Series Title UNU-MERIT Research Memoranda Volume/Issue No. 20 Publication Date 2004 Publisher UNU-MERIT Language eng Abstract A model is introduced to analyze the effect of network effects and transactions patterns on the decision by banks (not) to standardize payment systems both domestically and across borders. If only a small share of all transactions is cross-border, banks have strong incentives to maintain incompatible standards across countries. The model is applied to the case of harmonizing Europe's payment networks. Copyright Year 2004 Copyright type All rights reserved -
