Extremal Mechanisms for Local Differential Privacy (2014, background): “For example, users of social networking sites are increasingly cautious about their privacy, but still find it inevitable to agree to share their personal information in order to benefit from customized services such as recommendations and personalized search [1, 2].”
Counteracting the Negative Effect of Form Auto-completion on the Privacy Calculus (2013, result): “In contrast, other researchers show that people’s privacy decisions are not always so rational (Acquisti and Grossklags 2005, 2008), and that computer users often avoid the hassle of exploiting the control given to them (Compañó and Lusoli 2010).”
Privacy and personal data collection with information externalities (2019, unknown): “For more comprehensive reviews of economic perspectives on privacy and the Internet, we refer to Athey (2014) and Acquisti, Taylor, and Wagman (2016).”
Privacy attitudes and privacy behaviour: A review of current research on the privacy paradox phenomenon (2017, background): “However, research in behavioural economics has shown that human decision-making is affected by cognitive biases and heuristics (Acquisti and Grossklags, 2007).”
Distributed Differential Privacy and Applications (2015, background): “This can be a nebulous and ill-defined requirement (Acquisti and Grossklags, 2007), and often depends on the specific use-case in question.”
Online Behavioral Advertising: A Literature Review and Research Agenda (2017, unknown): “For instance, the notion of present bias describes tendencies to choose immediate gratiﬁcation and disregard future costs or disadvantages (Acquisti and Grossklags 2007; O’Donoghue and Rabin 1999).”
The Economics of Personal Data and the Economics of Privacy (2010, background): “…in the marketplace (Brunk, 2002), these results suggest a privacy paradox: people want privacy, but do not want to pay for it, and in fact are willing to disclose sensitive information for even small rewards (for an overview of this area, see Acquisti (2004) and Acquisti and Grossklags (2007)).”
