- The Economics of Personal Data and the Economics of Privacy (2010, methodology): “Hermalin and Katz (2006) criticize the Chicago School’s argument that privacy protection is inherently welfare-diminishing. They note that data protection may have ex ante positive effects on economic welfare. For instance, the protection of privacy can make it possible to support insurance schemes ”
- Targeted Advertising and Advertising Avoidance (2011, unknown): “Given the earlier quasiconvexity result (Proposition 8), as well as the work of Hermalin and Katz (2006), it is clear that ignoring gradations in the quality of information available leads to an incomplete picture.”
- What is Different About Online Advertising? (2014, background): “First, Lewis et al. (2011) demonstrate that studies that correlate user response and online advertising are likely to overstate the effectiveness of advertising because of a particular type of selection bias, which they label “activity bias”: the observation that users tend to do many activities eac”
- Online advertising and privacy (2014, unknown): “Although reminiscent of results by Taylor (2004), Acquisti and Varian (2005), Hermalin and Katz (2006), Calzolari and Pavan (2006), the latter effect stems from a different logic.”
- Privacy Regulation and Online Advertising (2010, background): “Hermalin and Katz (2006) investigate the secrecy aspects of privacy and show that assigning property rights over information may not be sufficient to achieve allocative efficiency.”
- Privacy Regulation and Market Structure (2015, background): “For example, the privacy theory literature has documented that a subset of people can be harmed by information sharing, perhaps because they are “bad targets” (Taylor, 2004; Hermalin and Katz, 2006).”
- The economics of advertising and privacy (2012, background): “As discussed by Hermalin and Katz (2006); Hui and Png (2006), it is this asymmetric information which prevents the classic Coasian solution proposed by Posner (1980) that is based on the allocation of a property right over data.”
