Mechanism design in large games: incentives and privacy (2012, background): “In addition to the present paper, recent works revisit questions in basic areas in economic theory such as revealed preference (Cummings, Echenique, and Wierman 2014), implementation (Gradwohl 2012), and regulation (Flood et al. 2013) when agents have privacy concerns.

The consumer production journey: marketing to consumers as co-producers in the sharing economy (2018, background): “…labor or capital goods in the production process can still bring considerable value to other consumers if they are willing to provide access to their data, such as their relevant personal and sales data (Acquisti et al. 2016; Chung et al. 2016; Evans 2017; Goldfarb and Tucker 2011; Tucker 2014).”
Understanding Privacy Online: Development of a Social Contract Approach to Privacy (2016, background): “In privacy scholarship, the access-view of privacy suggests that individuals have a reasonable expectation of privacy so long as they and their information are inaccessible or hidden (Warren and Brandeis 1890; Elgesem 1999; Persson and Hansson 2003; Schoeman 1984; Posner 1981).”
