OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Data and Competition (with Alexandre de Cornière)
An important policy debate, particularly in the digital economy, surrounds the role data plays in competition. However, attempts to provide a coherent economic analysis have been stymied by the fact that data has many forms and many different uses. We develop general conditions under which the accumulation of data by firms is pro- or anti-competitive, and use these conditions to examine the competitive effects of data in applications such as targeted advertising, product personalisation, algorithmic recommendations, and price discrimination. We also apply this framework to study policy issues such as the control of mergers where data changes hands, the design of privacy policy, and the implications of data for long-run market dynamics.
