资源简介：
The shift from offline to online purchasing is reshaping trade patterns: a weaker effect of distance has been observed in digital transactions. This study analyzes these dynamics at an unprecedented scale and granularity, using inter-regional gravity models estimated from billions of geo-located French card transactions. Using a matched sample of merchants active in both online and offline channels, with unambiguous regional identification, we compare purchasing behavior across channels. We estimate that distance matters 35\% less online than offline on average, but for durables, 69\% lower online; 43\% lower online for non-durables; a negligible online-offline difference is found for services.<br>
