数字隐私经济学研究进展

Progress in Digital Privacy Economics Research

摘要:

随着数字技术的高速发展和数据要素在经济活动中地位的不断上升,数字隐私问题越发已成为学界与政策界关注的核心议题。本文系统梳理了数字隐私经济学的研究进展与主题,围绕数字隐私的决策机制和相关经济学问题构建了较为完整的经济学理论框架。首先,本文从历史角度总结了数字隐私的内涵及发展。进一步地,本文总结了学界所关注的几个重点数字隐私现实问题,并在此基础上从隐私决策的市场逻辑出发,分别从消费者、企业和社会福利角度梳理了数字隐私决策的行为逻辑；此外,还重点梳理了技术测量、价格歧视、外部性和监管及监管有效性四个主要经济学问题。最后,本文还对数字隐私经济学的学科发展以及数字隐私保护技术进行了总结并提出了展望,并针对数字隐私保护问题提出了政策建议,以推动数字经济发展与数字隐私保护之间的良性平衡。

Abstract:

With the rapid advancement of digital technologies and the growing importance of data factors in economic activities, digital privacy issues have increasingly become central concerns for both academia and policymakers. The expansion of the digital economy underscores the need for theoretical frameworks that can explain privacy-related behaviors and their economic implications. However, existing research remains fragmented, with many studies staying at the conceptual level and lacking systematic depth and empirical evidence. Academic progress continues to fall behind practical developments in data use, platform governance, and regulatory design, creating significant challenges for understanding and managing digital privacy.
