Abstract
When the analysis of individuals' personal information has value to an institution, but it compromises privacy, should individuals be compensated? We describe the foundations of a market in which those seeking access to data must pay for it and individuals are compensated for the loss of privacy they may suffer.

Differentially Private Contextual Dynamic Pricing
AAMAS '20: Proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and MultiAgent SystemsIn this paper, we design differentially private algorithms for the contextual dynamic pricing problem. In contextual dynamic pricing, the seller sells heterogeneous products to buyers that arrive sequentially. At each time step, a buyer arrives with ...
