Abstract
We examine empirically how trading by peers on a new platform influences others' adoption decisions. We model the adoption process and find the relation to be U‐shaped, with first movers greatly discouraging their peers from adoption and late movers slightly discouraging or encouraging their peers. Further analysis shows that the U‐shape is explained by social transmission bias rather than profitability.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
