About the Workshop
The goal of this workshop is to bring together students, postdocs, and researchers from AI, economics, operations research, and computer science who are interested in the emerging area of data economics.
We are planning a program with plenary talks, spotlight sessions, a poster session, and an open discussion on important research directions. The workshop aims to catalyze new collaborations and chart foundational questions in this rapidly developing field.
Understanding Data as an Asset
Modeling data value — complementarities, diminishing returns, and its rivalrous vs. non-rivalrous nature under privacy constraints and statistical validity.
Incentives & Mechanisms
Designing mechanisms to reward data contributions, compensate for acquisition and privacy costs, and encourage high-quality sharing while accounting for externalities.
Data Pricing
Stable pricing strategies under different market structures — competition, oligopoly, monopoly — accounting for data's unique economic properties.
Equilibrium in Data Markets
Understanding stable behavior of buyers, sellers, and platforms (e.g., Snowflake, AWS) offering storage and ML services; incentives and market dynamics.
