Encontramos que aspectos del hogar como el ingreso, escolaridad del jefe del hogar y tenencia de activos colaterales se relacionan con la tenencia de tarjetas de crédito, como han documentado investigaciones anteriores. Además, la concentración de sucursales y terminales punto de venta (TPV) en la lo calidad también afectan esta decisión, como sugieren los modelos de mercados de dos lados. Sin embargo, en la decisión del monto gastado resulta significativa la concentración de TPV, no así el ingreso una vez que se considera su efecto en tenencia. Este nuevo resultado sugiere que en México el uso de tarjetas de crédito se promovería más por la expansión de la infraestructura de TPV que por el impulso de los "programas de recompensas" tradicionales de descuentos o transferencias de ingreso por pagar con ellas.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract: We analyze the data of credit card holding and usage in Mexico, through a sample selection model. We find that some features of the household, such as income, head's education level and owners hip of assets that can be used as collateral are related with the decision of having a credit card, as previous research has shown. Furthermore, as two sided markets theories suggest, concentration of bank branches and point of sales (POS) terminals at the locality also are relevant in such decision. POS concentration also results relevant in the expenditure decision, while income loses significance once its effect on the decision of holding a card is controlled for. This new result suggests that use of credit cards would be fostered further if the POS network is expanded than if traditional discount-and income transfer-type reward programs become more generous.]]></p></abstract>
