Full textContent processing algorithms used in the Internet industry are essential to the functioning of many services. They serve to filter content, order responses to a search, select relevant information, make recommendations. They have become necessary for the analysis of the large masses of data from connected objects and e-commerce. These tools are also generators of innovation in service in a strategic and highly competitive economic sector. The literature on law and economics shows ambivalent results related to economics impact of algorithms. On the one hand, this literature shows that the algorithms raise questions (abuse) of dominance, collusion and discrimination. Chen et al. (2017) study the UBER platform and show that there is an algorithmic monopoly on Uber, where the price varies according to algorithm-specific rules and not according to a market logic in which supply and demand determine equilibrium price. In the case of oligopoly, Mehra (2016), Ezrachi and Stucke (2015) have shown the existence of collusion (via price parallelism) due to the presence of robo-sellers who coordinate prices according to an upward trend. Finally, Mikians et al. (2013); Hannak et al. (2014) show the existence of numerous form of price discrimination in different sectors. Datta et al. (2015) ; Lambrecht and Tucker, (2016) observe gender-based discrimination on the level of wages. On the other hand, the literature shows that algorithms can improve choices made by individuals, particularly in court decisions. While, the preconceived ideas of American judges towards African-American individuals induce a biased judicial decision, the implementation of algorithms has demonstrated a crime reduction of 24.8% (Kleinberg et al, 2016). A preliminary literature in economics and law attempts to assess the algorithm behaviors with the aim to identify the cause of information asymmetry in the market and thus between consumers - Regulator - and the firms. We aim to identify the implications for regulation of economics of privacy and the extent of obligation to protect the privacy of consumers? How can companies be more transparent and fair, given that an algorithm is the strategic resource of firms and a source of innovation and market power? How to avoid the dangers of an adverse selection mechanism (where the most respectful of personal data would be out of market) and moral hazard (due to too high regulatory oversight costs)? The thesis will work on all these points

Full textMy PhD focuses on how information sellers use consumer information to shape competition on product markets. The three chapters develop theoretical models where the interactions between data brokers specialized in collecting and selling information, firms competing on a product market, and consumers behaving strategically regarding the price they pay and their concern for privacy. Namely we study first the strategies of data brokers selling information to competing firms allowing them to price discriminate consumers. We show that data brokers do not sell all information about consumers but keep a share of unidentified consumers instead. We focus then on competition and mergers between data brokers, and we show that competition affects the uses of information in several directions. Competing data brokers collect less information than monopolists, but sell more consumer data. We show that consumers benefit from competition between data brokers regarding the price they pay on the product market, but the effects on their privacy are two fold. Finally we consider the reactions of consumers who can hide from data brokers and pay a homogeneous price. We show that in order to moderate consumers' willingness to hide, data brokers will identify more consumers on the product market and thus increase competition between firms. Thus the possibility to hide positively affects consumers on the price they pay, as competition is increased, but as more consumers are identified, their privacy concern increases. Overall, this study answers some key questions on the mechanisms of information collection, and uses by data brokers, how they affect competition on the product market, and how consumers react to it when they are concerned both by the price they pay and by their privacy

Full textIn this study we investigate how the attitude and behaviour concerning illegal file shar-ing have changed among the young population in Sweden. The study will analyze the impact of the IPRED law that was introduced in April 2008 and new digital media ser-vices that have emerged in the last couple of years. It is also evaluated which of these have had the most impact on the attitude and behaviour of the selected population.
The main part of our research consists of a quantitative survey handed out to a sample population among high school students (ages 16-20) in Jönköping, Sweden. This pri-mary data is later compared to secondary data from a similar study that was done on the same demographics two years prior to this research in order to measure the change in behaviour and attitude. The previous study was conducted prior to the IPRED law im-plementation by one of the authors. We also used prior research within this subject and related fields to further understand and interpret our data.
What we have discovered through our research is that there has been a decrease in ille-gal file sharing, especially when considering music, however this decrease is much more an effect of the adopting of new media services then it can be attributed to the IPRED law. Furthermore, the attitudes towards file sharing have remained unchanged and a large number of young adults do not feel that file sharing should be illegal.
It is also concluded that good legal alternatives to file sharing have a large market po-tential if these services can fulfil consumers demand on availability and price. Addition-ally we have found that good legal alternatives are important if the public is to refrain from returning to their old file sharing habits once the initial scare from new legislation has worn off.

Full textThe master’s thesis focuses on the history of digital currency and blockchain technology, the prerequisites for the emergence and existence of a system separately and as a whole. Analyzed of the impact of cryptorcurrency and blockchain technologies on the financial system was conducted, and the main indicators were found to confirm this influence. Emphasized approaches of the digital currency ban and legislative support in the context of the world identified the main causes and consequences. Blockchain is analyzed as a technology of the future, for areas both financial and non-financial. Global trends in blockchain implementation in world organizations, their strengths, and weaknesses, opportunities and threats are highlighted. Basic recommendations were given, to modern cryptocurrency developers and future ones, to further avoiding problems.

Full textCertainly! Here is the revised paragraph with corrected grammar:This thesis studies the economic and behavioral implications of digitization. Chapter 1 investigates the privacy sensitivity of consumers in the mobile app market, accounting for the quality enhancement resulting from the use of user data. The findings indicate that not accounting for the consumer benefit of sharing personal information leads to an underestimation of privacy sensitivity. As a result, the sensitivity to data collection is higher than commonly reported in the literature. Furthermore, I show that privacy sensitivity increases over time, but with persistent heterogeneity across countries. Chapter 2 examines the implications of non-discrimination in data collection policies across markets, which is prevalent in the mobile app industry. By estimating a structural model of demand and supply and simulating counterfactual scenarios, I demonstrate that a regulation enforcing discrimination in data collection across countries would increase consumer surplus and privacy in Europe, but with opposite effects in the US. Chapter 3 investigates the impact of the boom in on-demand food delivery platforms on crime, leveraging the temporal and geographic disparities in their introduction in France. Our staggered difference-in-differences approach reveals that the arrival of a delivery platform in an employment area leads to a significant reduction in drug-related crimes. These results indicate that the gig economy fosters employment opportunities for low-skilled workers, youth, and minority groups, facilitating their engagement in lawful economic activities

Full textThis thesis addresses issues related to market power in digital markets. It aims at improving the understanding of digital platforms' governance decisions and their resulting market outcomes.The first chapter theoretically explores the effect of interoperability on competition between two ad-financed platforms, allowing for endogenous multi-homing of consumers. Interoperability emerges in equilibrium if the value of multi-homers relative to single-homers is sufficiently low for advertisers. This equilibrium level of interoperability is however misaligned with social welfare maximization. In markets dominated by one platform, mandating interoperability between the asymmetric platforms is not always socially optimal.The second chapter empirically investigates the issue of self-preferencing on hybrid platforms, using web-scraped data from the Amazon marketplace. It appears that Amazon makes the visibility of offers of third-party suppliers in the "buybox" dependent on prices on competing marketplaces. Amazon's own offers are however visible regardless of their competitiveness. Furthermore, the absence of seller recommendations makes recommendations to related products more effective and Amazon tends to steer consumers in these situations more often to products it sells itself. Overall, this illustrates how self-preferencing can appear in subtle forms.The last chapter theoretically examines the incentives of hybrid platforms to invest in screening tools to detect and delist illegal third-party products. Whereas platforms engage in screening to the extent that it accommodates entry, more vertically integrated platforms tend to screen less due to the business-stealing effect it induces. Additionally, platforms conducting screening charge higher commission fees to sellers. This strategic complementarity can lead to a negative relationship between platforms' degree of vertical integration and the level of commission fees.These three chapters highlight the complex nature of digital markets and the need for regulatory intervention to be carefully calibrated

Full textThis dissertation consists of three essays that fall under the broad banner of competition law and economics. Each essay answers a research question under different angles of economics of litigation studying unilateral conducts from a dominant player causing competitive damage. The three chapters deal with the compensation, prevention and remediation of that damage and combines methods from data analysis, econometrics, and game theory. The first essay studies the determinants of a successful private enforcement action following abuse of dominance position. The second essay studies anti-steering clauses in digital markets under the framework of a digital sector specific regulation. The third essay starts from a commitment decision from the EU Commission imposing remedies on a digital platform to study the effectiveness and auditability of remedies imposed on a ranking algorithm. Overall, this dissertation aims to demonstrate the benefits as well as the hurdles of private enforcement, the Digital Markets Act, and imposing remedies in complementing the traditional competition law public enforcement of unilateral conducts, specifically in digital markets

Full textFree flow of data and personal data protection on the Internet Protection of personal data is an autonomous fundamental right within the European Union (Article 8 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of European Union). Moreover, free flow of personal data and free movement of information society services in particular online platforms is essential for the development of digital single market in European Union. The balance between free movement of data and personal data protection is subject of the European legal framework. However, the main challenge still remains to strike the right balance between effective personal data protection and free flow of this data and information society services. This balance is not an easy task especially in the age of online platforms, Big Data and processing algorithms like Machine Learning and Deep Learning

Market definition is one of the principal issues in identification of SMP undertakings. Competition authorities must delineate the exact scope where anti-competitive behaviour may have effect. Competition law will serve to correct the market failure. The market share of each market participant would be relatively smaller when a market is defined larger, and hence the effect of their anti-competitive behaviour would be less evident. The market share of each market participant would become relatively significant, nevertheless, when a market is defined narrower, and hence the effect of the anti-competitive behaviour would be exaggerated. In the age of digital convergence, competition authorities, when defining markets, must take into account market conditions and market developments. In particular, they must consider the appropriateness of these market definitions and the appropriate delineation of the boundaries between products or geographical areas. Fair Trade Commission and National Communications Commission need more consistent and coherent market analysis procedures.

ABSTRACT As the vigorous development of the Internet and …etc, the informational communication mechanics, and the message are transmissed in diversity ways. The Internet in Taiwan is getting widely used and the digital era gradually replaces the traditional information types. The information is faster and more convenient through the characteristics of the Internet data transmission convenience and without the national boundary. Taiwan government emphasizes the growing development of science and technology industry; under the situation that continuously developing the union of the tech and the industry, high tech skills and the development of the information products, the Taiwan traditional publishers and the information industry would have to face is the digital publisher how to build a new stage. While allowing the old strict regulations opened, even the allowing mainland tourists to visit Taiwan, it reveals that the Taiwan government’s regulations that allow the communication with the mainland economic and trading market. Obviously the market within the mainland has been the largest trading stage in Taiwan. With the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement, the government intends to promote the cross-strait economic and the trading relations and the internationalization of the Taiwan economic and trading. It would a trend to digital publish with the district boundary. The traditional publisher industry may not independently develop the digitizing publication and have to combine with the information tech industry, the Internet industry, the publisher and…etc; formerly by no means the related industry. The issue, the combination of the digitizing and the tradition, no matter the property, the skill and others is worthily concerned. After the Mainland China allows to open its market, it becomes the potential market. With the geography, special history background and at similar cultural district, the Mainland China becomes Taiwan’s largest exporting market. Taiwan has the advantages of language and the culture. Although Taiwan intends to cooperate with the related industry of the Mainland China publishers, the regulations of the publishers and the standards of the publisher areas are extremely minute and complicated and the restrictions on foreign-funded enterprises are multitudinous. The special politic background causes that the Taiwanese businessman faces the legal risk in the investment process. This research study analyzes that the Mainland China restrains the related controlling of the publisher industry and the related legal regulations of the publisher industry in order to understand the legal standard and the policy of the Mainland China publication area and to decrease risks which Taiwan related industry invest in the Mainland China. As the Mainland China is under the socialism economic system; some parts are still in the restrict controlling situation, Taiwanese businessman intends to invest in the Mainland China market that shall especially understand the regulations, the right of management and the permition …etc to reduce the risk. As under the special background of cross-strait, there is difference between the management of the publisher industry and the regulation environment. It is an issue to study that Taiwan digital publisher industry how to across these obstacles of the policy and different regulations in order to smoothly obtain the small place of the trading market in the Mainland China.
