On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, 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.
