Abstract
  This article revisits the research in "The Move Toward a Cashless Society: A Closer Look at Payment Instrument Economics" in order to clarify assumptions underlying the theoretical model and how they impact the included cost and benefit categories; evaluate the estimates' plausibility by comparing the model's results to observed behaviour; and extend the sensitivity analysis.

Keywords: credit card, cash, cost benefit, welfare
