摘要Using a unique conjoint data set drawn from http://aims.cuhk.edu.hk/converis/portal/Publication/281 college students in HongKong, I estimate a random-coefficient discrete choice demand system for Microsoft Office from legal and various illegal sources. Counterfactual results showtwo things. First, most studentswould switch to Internet piracy even if the government eradicated street piracy. This explains why software piracy in Hong Kong remains well above 40% despite the government's successful measures to bring down street piracy. Second, the true gain from shutting off all sources of piracy is HK$48.6 (US$6) per person, only 15% of the Business Software Alliance's estimated cost of piracy. ? http://aims.cuhk.edu.hk/converis/portal/Publication/2013 by the President and Fellows of Harvard College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
