13 September, 2022, Bengaluru: The Office of Research and Publications (R&P) at IIM Bangalore will host a webinar titled: ‘Data and Competition: A Simple Framework’, on 28th September 2022 (Wednesday), at 4:00 pm. The talk will be delivered by Dr. Alexandre de Cornière, Toulouse School of Economics (Economics and Social Sciences area).
About the talk: What role does data play in competition? This question has been at the centre of a fierce debate around competition policy in the digital economy. The research provides a simple framework for studying the competitive effects of data, encompassing a wide range of applications (product improvement, targeted advertising, price discrimination) using a competition-in-utilities approach. The researchers model data as a revenue-shifter and identify conditions for data to be pro- or anti-competitive. The conditions are simple and often do not require knowledge of market demand or the calculation of equilibrium. This framework has been used to address policy-relevant questions related to market structure.

He is an Assistant Professor at the Toulouse School of Economics, a member of the TSE Digital Center, and a Research Fellow at the Centre for Economic and Policy Research.
