Query: A Game-Theoretic Study on Non-Monetary Incentives in Data Analytics
  Projects with Privacy Implications   The amount of personal information contributed by individuals to digital
repositories such as social network sites has grown substantially. The
existence of this data offers unprecedented opportunities for data analytics
research in various domains of societal importance including medicine and
public policy. The results of these analyses can be considered a public good
which benefits data contributors as well as individuals who are not making
their data available. At the same time, the release of personal information
carries perceived and actual privacy risks to the contributors. Our research
addresses this problem area. In our work, we study a game-theoretic model in
which individuals take control over participation in data analytics projects in
two ways: 1) individuals can contribute data at a self-chosen level of
precision, and 2) individuals can decide whether they want to contribute at all
(or not). From the analyst's perspective, we investigate to which degree the
research analyst has flexibility to set requirements for data precision, so
that individuals are still willing to contribute to the project, and the
quality of the estimation improves. We study this tradeoff scenario for
populations of homogeneous and heterogeneous individuals, and determine Nash
equilibria that reflect the optimal level of participation and precision of
contributions. We further prove that the analyst can substantially increase the
accuracy of the analysis by imposing a lower bound on the precision of the data
that users can reveal.
