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.

We study how regulating data usage can impact innovation. Digital platforms commonly use market data generated by third-party seller activity to decide which market segments to enter with direct product offerings. We find that a ban on data usage stimulates innovation for ``experimental’‘ product categories with significant upside demand potential, but stifles it otherwise. Our results contribute to an ongoing policy discussion regarding data usage in digital markets.
