Privacy, Data Protection and Market Structure

数字经济的兴起带来了前所未有的数据收集、存储和处理规模，给个人带来了新的隐私风险。该项目将对必要的激励措施和制度进行经济分析，以确保数据得到充分保护，同时也为个人提供足够的隐私。它将通过探索隐私法、数据泄露通知法的优化设计，以及促进竞争和鼓励数据保护投资之间的关系来做到这一点。这项研究的结果将有助于联邦政府努力建立一个安全和有弹性的数字基础设施，以支持整个澳大利亚的知识经济。

The rise of the digital economy has led to an unprecedented scale of data collection, storage and processing, creating new privacy risks for individuals. This project will provide an economic analysis of the incentives and institutions necessary to ensure data is sufficiently protected while also providing adequate levels of privacy to individuals. It will do this by exploring the optimal design of privacy laws, data breach notification laws, and the relationship between promoting competition and encouraging data protection investment. The outcomes of this research will contribute to the efforts of the federal government to build a secure and resilient digital infrastructure that supports the entire Australian knowledge economy.
