How long does it take you to pay? : a duration study of Canadian retail transaction payment times / by Geneviève Vallée.: FB3-5/2018-46E-PDF
"Using an exclusive data set of payment times for retail transactions made in Canada, I show that cash is the most time-efficient method of payment (MOP) when compared with payments by debit and credit cards. The efficiency of cash helps explain its continued use in Canada, which is motivated by its low cost in terms of payment time for consumers and merchants"--Abstract, p. ii.
