,EU Data Strategy
EU Data Strategy
• To create a Single market for data
• Flow across sectors
• European rules are fully respected (GDPR)
Composition
• Digital Services Act
Digital Services Package
• Digital Markets Act
• Data Governance Act
• Data Act
Digital Services Package (DSA and DMA)
• Both Services and Markets have the same goals
• Create a safer digital space, where users’ rights are protected
• Create a playing field for innovation, growth, and competition
• Digital Services Act, DSA → Intermediaries and platforms
• Digital Markets Act, DMA → Gatekeepers
Digital Services Act
• Regulates digital service providers that act as intermediaries
• VLOPs = Very Large Online Platforms
• VLOEs = Very Large Online Search Engines
o Both require special diligence regarding systemic risk
Digital Markets Act
• Gatekeepers = Largest digital platforms that are gateways for business and users
o Over 7.5b revenue
o Over 45m users and over 10k businesses
o Durable: thresholds met in the last 3 years
Data Governance Act
• Foster Data Availability
• Technical equipment should be provided
• Data intermediaries should not be trading data
• Data altruism → Sharing data without gaining yourself
Data Act
• Concerned by the Internet of Things
• Rules about who can access what data
• Creating a fairer environment for all sectors in the economy

, Outside of Europe
Convention 108+

HC2: Economic Theory, a refresher (6 feb)
Basic economic concepts
Opportunity costs
= Costs incurred by missing out choosing an alternative.
Trade-offs
= You need to balance two likable things, or two unlikable things.
Utility function
= typically has consumption of one or more goods as input. And has the utility of a consumer
as output. Consumers always want to maximize utility.
Δ𝐶(𝑞)
Costs C(q) → Marginal costs = Δq
𝐶(𝑞)
→ Average costs = 𝑞
→ Variable costs = non-fixed costs (these derive to 0)
→ Sunk costs = expenses that are incurred anyway. Need not to be considered.
Optimal pricing: π(q)’ = 0 → mr(q) = mc(q)
Thus, producers need to set the quantity such that the marginal revenue (price,
in linear functions) is equal to the marginal costs (typically increases)
Welfare Analysis
Competitive market → Price is given. Producers merely set quantity
Thus, marginal revenue is [pq]’=p
Assumption: In the long run, no producer can make profit in a competitive market, because
in case of profits, producers will enter, and in case of losses, producers will drop out.
Monopoly → One producer can determine both price and quantity
Price follows quantity. P(q) is the price.
