To Root or Not to Root? The Economics of Jailbreak [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2013 Abstract We construct a structural model that allows us to jointly estimate the demand for smartphones and paid apps using a Bayesian approach. Our data comes from more than 500 college students in Hong Kong and Shanghai. We find that the utility cost rather than the upfront monetary cost of jailbreaking smartphones determines its prevalence.
