OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
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.
