Our Lab studies the role of data in the aggregate economy:

  • What do we know about attitudes towards privacy and the willingness of individuals or businesses to provide sensitive data?
  • What is the value of data for firms and consumers?  
  • How big is the data changing risk and uncertainty?
  • Who should own the data? How much should individuals be compensated for their data?
  • What is the relationship between Big Tech and Big Data?
  • Is the primary mechanism for addressing societal risks and potential harms by AI a solution that targets technical progress, regulations, or consumer trust?
