电子商务在美国消费支出中所占的份额正在迅速增长。我们使用Visa, Inc.在2007年至2017年间的信用卡和借记卡交易级数据来量化由此产生的消费者剩余。我们估计,到2017年,电子商务将达到消费的8%,相当于为他们的消费增加1%,或每个家庭每年超过1000美元。虽然部分收益来自于避免了当地商家的旅行成本,但大部分收益来自于替代了可以在网上买到但不在当地买到的商家。收入越高的消费者获益越多,人口越稠密的县的消费者也是如此。(jel d12, e21, g51, l81, l86)
E-commerce represents a rapidly growing share of consumer spending in the United States. We use transactions-level data on credit and debit cards from Visa, Inc. between 2007 and 2017 to quantify the resulting consumer surplus. We estimate e-commerce reached 8 percent of consumption by 2017, yielding the equivalent of a 1 percent boost to their consumption, or over $1,000 per household per year. While some of the gains arose from avoiding travel costs to local merchants, most of the gains stemmed from substituting to merchants available online but not locally. Higher income consumers gained more, as did consumers in more densely populated counties. (JEL D12, E21, G51, L81, L86)
