Extended Abstract at EC'24 (25th ACM Conference on Economics and Computation)
with Tommaso Bondi and Omid Rafieian.
Privacy regulations that ban behavioral ad targeting incentivize media firms to shift toward more extreme and polarizing positioning to draw better inferences about consumer types. Competition increases such inference motives.
This paper studies whether firms’ reputation consideration can serve as a commitment device for privacy protection in a long-run game when consumers have imperfect monitoring technology.
with Z. Eddie Ning and J. Miguel Villas-Boas.
Varying search costs can lead to choice deferral and choice closure behavior, with effects of strategic pricing and retargeting.
This paper endogenizes the consumer’s information environment from the firm’s perspective and endogenizes the search decision from the consumer’s perspective.
with J. Miguel Villas-Boas.
The optimal retargeting strategy requires dynamic analysis, with better information tracking potentially leading to less retargeting.
