Abstract:
|
This project explores how an individual's valuation of personal data may vary depending on whether it is framed as a transfer of information or a purchase of privacy. This study posits that individuals view privacy goods as distinct from data goods---even when outcomes are identical---and the individual's willingness to pay for privacy is higher than their willingness to accept for revealing personal information. The experimental design of this study involves a discrete choice model in a hypothetical data marketplace, where individuals' preferences over various privacy and personal data choice sets are elicited.
