Prof. Dr. Jan Krämer has received the Best Paper Award from the Association for Information Systems (AIS), Special Interest Group on Digital Sourcing and Platform Ecosystems. The award honors the paper “Regulating Digital Platform Ecosystems Through Data Sharing and Data Siloing: Consequences for Innovation and Welfare”, published in MIS Quarterly, 49(1), 123–154.
The awarded paper examines how regulatory approaches to data sharing and data siloing shape digital platform ecosystems. It analyzes the effects on innovation incentives, competitive dynamics, and overall economic welfare, providing important insights for current policy debates on data-driven regulation and the role of data access in fostering—or potentially constraining—innovation.
