DESCRIPTION:Andrei Hagiu\n\nProfessor of Information Systems\n	Questrom Scho
 ol of Business\n	Boston University \n\nPersonalization\, data portability a
 nd competitive dynamics\n\nDate: Friday\, October 3rd\, 2025\n	Time: 10:30 
 am - 12:00 pm EDT\n	Location: Armstrong Building\, Room 375\n\nAll are cord
 ially invited to attend.\n\n\nAbout:\n\nWe study data portability in a mod
 el of dynamic price competition where product quality improves for each cu
 stomer as personal data builds up with usage. This can reflect AI-driven p
 ersonalisation based on customer data or customers that embed their own da
 ta into the firm's product via their usage. We show that when consumers ar
 e forward looking and the firm can personalize its prices\, data portabili
 ty unambiguously harms consumers and benefits firms\, reflecting that it s
 oftens price competition. Indeed\, if they could\, firms would commit to a
 llow their customers to take their data with them if they switch firms in 
 the future. By contrast\, consumers gain and the leading firm may lose fro
 m data portability when (i) consumers are myopic\, (ii) firms can no longe
 r personalize pricing\, or (iii) data portability is applied retroactively
  to data already held.\n
