  As readers of this blog know, I’m a free-market kind of guy. But this doesn’t mean, however, that I’m indifferent to organizations that gouge me on a daily basis. Lately, it seems that everyone wants to sink their teeth into my backside – the state, the feds and now the banks.When it comes [...]

• The Institutional Dynamic: Understand First, Act Second—If At All

  
  TRUTH ON THE MARKET — Authority: 533
  I have now had a chance to review the excellent posts on the second day, all of which have a common flavor.  They expand the universe of relative considerations that need to be taken into account to decide whether imposing caps on interchange fees enhances or reduces overall social welfare.  The narrow perspective ...

  TRUTH ON THE MARKET — Authority: 533
  In my first post I discussed the potential for interchange legislation from a consumer protection perspective, that is, would the combination of disclosure requirements coupled with a reduction of interchange fees be likely to improve consumer welfare.   I concluded that from the consumer protection perspective, ...

• Competitive Payments

  
  TRUTH ON THE MARKET — Authority: 533
  Most of the discussion related to pricing at the point of sale has emphasized the “cross-subsidy” between those that pay with cash and checks and those that pay with credit cards.  This discussion misses the core of the problem in a market where the use of cash and checks is rapidly declining; the central problem ...

• The Fee Neutrality Claim

  
  TRUTH ON THE MARKET — Authority: 533
  Will reduction in interchange fees help or hurt consumers? Two posts yesterday made the conjecture that a reduction in one category of fees would only increase other fees, and that the overall sum of fees will not change. This is the fee-neutrality claim. Todd Zywicki writes: The mathematics of the situation is ...

• Allocating the Costs of Fraud

  
  TRUTH ON THE MARKET — Authority: 533
  Geoffrey A. Manne is Executive Director of the International Center for Law & Economics and a Lecturer in Law at Lewis & Clark Law School. I take to heart Jim’s claim that fraud is too-little discussed in this realm given its cost, and thus I’ll try my hand at it. Every discussion of the industrial ...

• Assessing the Social Effects of the Use of Credit Cards

  
  TRUTH ON THE MARKET — Authority: 533
  The GAO has a fairly extensive discussion of the costs and benefits of credit cards to merchants.  However, that discussion focuses on the individual benefits.  I would like to step back and put two of those benefits – increased merchant sales and fraud prevention costs – into the larger context that I discussed ...

• The Cost of Payments Interchange: Issues No One Talks About

  
  TRUTH ON THE MARKET — Authority: 533
  James Van Dyke is President and Founder of Javelin Strategy and Research. I feel that at least two important issues are being left out of the raging controversy over the cost of interchange. (At this point my readers are probably deciding if I’ll follow with a pro-merchant or pro-bank POV…but guess what: here ...

• Interchange fees and other rules

  
  TRUTH ON THE MARKET — Authority: 533
  The GAO report raises concerns about card association the level of interchange fees (that acquirers pay issuers for credit card transactions processed) but also about other card association rules such as the ‘no surcharge rule.’ That rule prevents a merchant who accepts card transactions from charging a ‘point ...

• The Merchants’ Insincere Concern About Cross-Consumer Subsidies

  
  TRUTH ON THE MARKET — Authority: 533
  In my first post I argued that consumers as a group would likely be made worse off as a result of artificially imposed reductions in interchange fees.  This post considers a second line of attack—that even if consumers overall would be made no better off (or even worse off) as a result of regulating interchange ...

• Onions Forever! A Response to Allan Shampine

  
  TRUTH ON THE MARKET — Authority: 533
  There is nothing like the provocative post from Allan Shampine to move this debate up a notch.  First, I did not say that the debate over interchange fees was Onionesque. I reserved that dubious distinction to the on-the-hand-on-the-other-hand title of the GAO report.  Allan is right that the stakes are huge, ...

• Interchange Legislation as Counterproductive Consumer Protection Regulation

  
  TRUTH ON THE MARKET — Authority: 533
  Joshua D. Wright is Assistant Professor of Law and George Mason University School of Law.
