Abstract
ABSTRACT The aim of the paper is to analyse the extent to which digital payments in India have diffused since its introduction around 2010. The paper measures diffusion in terms of the rates of growth of digital payments in both volume and value terms and then employing the sectoral system of innovation framework to identify the factors that are crucial for its faster diffusion. The paper shows that despite its existence for more than a decade, digital payments have not diffused in value terms. The main factor identified for its slower diffusion is a decline in the rate of growth of real per capita income.
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.
