Switching costs are prevalent in network industries, and this paper investigates their effects on market outcome. I find that the role of switching costs depends on network effects and the outside option.

I nd that the role of switching costs depends on network e¤ects and the outside option. Without a viable outside option, high switching costs can neutralize the tendency towards high market concentration associated with...
