Online behavioral advertising has raised privacy concerns due to its dependence on extensive tracking of individuals' behaviors and its potential to influence them. Those concerns have been often juxtaposed with the economic value consumers are expected to gain from receiving behaviorally targeted ads. Those purported economic benefits, however, have been more frequently hypothesized than empirically demonstrated. We present the results of two online experiments designed to assess some of the consumer welfare implications of behaviorally targeted advertising using a counterfactual approach. Study 1 finds that products in ads targeted to a sample of online participants were more relevant to them than randomly picked products but were also more likely to be associated with lower quality vendors and higher product prices compared to competing alternatives found among search results. Study 2 replicates the results of Study 1. Additionally, Study 2 finds the higher product relevance of products in targeted ads relative to randomly picked products to be driven by participants having previously searched for the advertised products. The results help evaluate claims about the direct economic benefits consumers may gain from behavioral advertising.

In this talk, Douglas emphasizes that data, when treated as a valuable asset rather than a byproduct, can drive immense value for organizations. Data's unique qualities—its ability to be used repeatedly without depletion and to generate more data—can transform businesses, especially when leveraged strategically through innovative technologies and proper asset management. Douglas advocates for organizations to move beyond just reporting and compliance, and instead focus on using data to generate actionable insights that improve outcomes and create new value streams.Originator of the "3 Vs" of big data: Volume, Velocity, and Variety.

Welcome to the Mixtape with Scott! We are getting closer to the hundredth episode! This is our 91st interview if I include Adam Smith (played by ChatGPT-4), which I absolutely will be counting. And the guest is someone I have admired for a long time — Martin Gaynor, or “Marty”. Marty is the J. Barone University Professor of Economics and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon both in the economics department and their policy school, Heinz College. But he is also special adviser to Jonathan Kanter, assistant attorney general for the Antitrust Division at the federal Department of Justice, and it is not the first time that Marty has served in government as a public servant. He is also a former Director of the Bureau of Economics at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. You can read some about his new position in the Department of Justice here. Marty works on the supply side of health, you might say, as opposed to the demand side. He studies markets and concentration, hospitals, firm competition, pricing — not just our health behaviors, but also the supply of healthcare through a mixture of market and non-market processes. If you go through his vita, you can see he's racked up a lot of awards and publications over the years. There are many things you can say about Marty, and after this interview, two came to mind — resilient and kind. It was actually almost not the case that he would become as successful as an economist as he became, as he will share in this interview. He struggled initially to get a tenure track job, and even left academia briefly as a result. He is remarkably upbeat and realistic about the good fortune that he has had, though. And as you will see in this interview, it is very clear that he is a genuinely kind and warm hearted person.Marty also is a survivor in a more literal sense. He was nearly murdered in the antisemitic terrorist attack at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh. That is his story to tell in this interview, not mine, but I will leave it at that. All of our stories matter. No matter who is listening or reading this, their personal story matters, and I hope that this interview is interesting and that you enjoy getting to know Marty a bit better.

From employers to policy makers, universities and their students, everyone agrees that alternative credentials are a good thing for the economy and for expanding access to higher education. But it's one thing to think it's a good idea and another to make it happen. The truth is demand for microcredentials remains low among students, the business plans are patchy and higher education providers haven't fully embraced the new models. In this episode we hear from an institution who has managed to get alternative credentialing right in a big way. The University of Edinburgh has been building Moocs (massive open online courses) and microcredentials for over 10 years. It currently offers 80 online master's courses and 100 Moocs and microcredentials, reaching 4.7 million learners around the world. Melissa Highton, assistant principal of online and open learning at the university, is here to tell us about their strategy behind developing Moocs, how they remain relevant to millions of learners and the secret behind their commercial success. Michael D. Smith, a professor of information technology and public policy at Heinz College and Tepper School Of Business at Carnegie Mellon University, speaks with us about his recent book The Abundant University. Having observed disruption in the television and music industries, he urges universities to leverage technology to reach more students and secure their futures.

How we got here and what needs to happen next with Russia and Ukraine. In the years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a cohort of young Westerners flocked to Moscow, including many idealists who were eager to support the evolution of a democratic Russia. Today, Russia is on the other side of the looking-glass, nearing the one-year anniversary of the unprovoked invasion of its neighbor, Ukraine. Russian citizens now find themselves conscripted into a military accused of human rights crimes on the warfront. And at home, the Kremlin's propaganda, brutality, and corruption abound. If there is a bright, shining light of democracy, Russia is a chilling place far from it. Today on the show: How did this happen? And what additional policy response is needed as Russia and Ukraine enter their second year of this waking nightmare? Our guest is Sarah Mendelson, a former UN Ambassador, an expert in global development, human rights, and foreign policy, and the head of Carnegie Mellon's Heinz College in Washington, DC. She was also once one of those up-and-comers who moved to Moscow in the early 90s. Mendelson reminds us that while the world is rightfully focused on protecting Ukrainians, Vladimir Putin's war has also made victims of Russians, and those who advocate on their behalf.

Stacy Rosenberg is an associate teaching professor at Carnegie Mellon University's Heinz College, where she teaches graduate-level courses on writing for public policy and strategic presentation skills. In this episode, Rosenberg shares her insights and observations about the strategies the federal government and the private sector are using to discuss climate change and the most effective tactics and techniques they could employ.QuotesUsing terms like global warming and climate change are outdated and politicized, businesses and government officials should focus on communicating the economic and health benefits of climate initiatives. - StacyThey must consider how to communicate the impact of climate change on daily life instead of just focusing on glacial melt which is difficult for people to relate to. - StacyFeatured Guest in this episodeStacy RosenbergAssociate Teaching Professor, Carnegie Mellon University's Heinz CollegeProfile: https://www.heinz.cmu.edu/faculty-research/profiles/rosenberg-stacyLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stacyrosenbergChapters00:00 Introduction00:58 Stacy's expertise on Climate Crisis Communications01:40 Biden Administration's Climate Crisis Communication Efforts03:33 EPA's Missed Deadlines in Addressing Climate Crisis and its consequences05:33 Private sectors' action on addressing climate crisis07:37 The challenges of Communicating Climate Change13:03 Best practices and recommendations on climate crisis communications18:20 Overcoming difficulties and things to keep in mind about climate crisis communication23:20 ConclusionProduced by Heartcast Mediawww.heartcastmedia.comThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5602540/advertisement

In this week's episode Dr. Crane talks to Yiannis Pavlosoglou about Resilient Systems. From supply chain shortages to natural disruptions from changing weather patterns, it seems everything today needs to operate while under some type of duress or attack. But what do CISOs need to know to create resilient systems? And what can we learn from other CISOs who've already gone down this path? NIST defines cyber resiliency as the ability to anticipate, withstand, recover from, and adapt to adverse conditions, stresses, attacks, or compromises on systems that use or are enabled by cyber resources. That's a mouthful, but what does it actually mean to have to build a resilient cyber program to drive the change management necessary to build that type of program, to put in place the governance processes and procedures necessary. To discuss this and more, who better to talk with cyber resiliency and governance than Yiannis Pavlosoglou. Currently, the Founder and CEO at Kiberna, and most recently, the CISO for UBS in the UK.

In this week's episode Dr. Crane talks to Tim Brown, the CISO of SolarWinds about the Sunburst malware intrusion, how it affected him and his company, the changes he made, and how Tim stayed on as CISO after the intrusion. SolarWinds shot to national prominence due to the Sunburst malware intrusion, first discovered by FireEye in 2020. This incident resulted in the first stand-up of a cyber unified coordination group, with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, to coordinate a whole of government response to this incident. The Atlantic council said that Sunburst was a significant moment for cloud computing security and the attack raised concerns about the existing threat model that major cloud service providers use. Now imagine being the cybersecurity leader at the organization identified in this intrusion that affected thousands of customers. That was the situation Tim found himself in, in late 2020. He joins me here today to share his experience and wisdom in dealing with one of the most significant cybersecurity incidents in recent memory.

We begin by discussing how restrictions on economic agency create the conditions that make people vulnerable to exploitation. The episode then looks at how development finance practitioners understand modern slavery risks and what they're doing to restore people's economic agency. The episode concludes with a discussion about the connections between climate change vulnerabilities, human trafficking and development, and what that means for the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) later this year. This episode is hosted by Professor James Cockayne, Senior Fellow at FAST.

Hello and welcome to the History of Drugs in Society, where we explore the history of different substances and how we've lived alongside and interacted with them. I'm your host, Eugene Leventhal. If you're interested in learning more about how fentanyl markets came about and how they look like today, you should enjoy this discussion.
