This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $123,115 awarded on March 15, 2022 will fund research into the value of consumer data for digital platforms. The research will be conducted under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) through February 2029 at Columbia University.

Specifically, the research will investigate how the value of an individual consumer's data record is determined for an intermediary that uses it, such as an e-commerce platform's transaction data on buyers. The research will study contexts where data is already owned and can be used without consent, characterizing all components of a record's value. It will also examine how privacy rights may shift wealth from data users to sources and change a record's value, such as increasing the value of some individuals' data over others. Insights aim to advance understanding of data demand and markets as well as inform privacy policy debates.
