| Popis: | In this article, we develop some of the economics of the intricate relationship between the demand and the supply of personalized data. We first focus on one heavily debated use of personal data: differential pricing (price discrimination). This allows us to highlight the role played by privacy protection, the impact on consumer welfare and the incentives of data brokers to share their data with firms competing on the product market, thereby articulating some of the forces that can influence the supply of and demand for digital personal data. We then touch upon broader questions regarding the supply and the demand for personal data and conclude by arguing that we are currently not yet in a world of ‘real’ data ‘markets’: personal data are transacted most of the time relying on hybrid contracts. |
