Description:
Time-series data on cash use in any country is essentially nonexistent. An econometric model is developed to overcome this difficulty. Applied to the US, we estimate cash use over the past 25 years. The share of cash in (legal) consumer payments appears to have fallen by a third, from 0.31 in 1974 to 0.20 in 2000. Checks replaced some cash during the 1970s, credit cards replaced some checks during the 1980s, while debit cards replaced both cash and checks in the 1990s. Even so, cash is not projected to go to zero anytime soon (95 words).
