John is the University of Colorado Distinguished Professor at the Leeds School of Business, University of Colorado-Boulder, and JP is the James M. Kilts Distinguished Service Professor of Marketing at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. Together, along with a number of co-authors, they have written a draft paper titled The Intended and Unintended Consequences of Privacy Regulation for Consumer Marketing , which is the subject of our conversation. Among other things, we discuss: The various compromises that are inherent in instituting privacy-related data restrictions; What regulators and government officials get wrong about personalized advertising; The difference between consumers' stated and revealed privacy preferences; The benefits to consumers of privacy; The potential win-win proposition of personalized advertising and price discrimination; How the GDPR should be instructive for US policymakers.
