Unskewing the Data Value Chain: A Policy Research Agenda for Equitable Platform Economies
2020
This working paper for the project, Unskewing the Data Value Chain, scopes relevant policy issues
and questions pertaining to systemic inequities in the global data value chains and frames a multidomain research agenda for inquiry. The paper also informs and steers the project’s recently
forged global research network that will contribute to Southern-led as well as Southern-focused
scholarship on the issue in the coming months.
The first part of this paper discusses the imminent transformations within the economy; the rise of
data value chains and the concomitant increase in inequality, emerging governance gaps, and
ramifications for the Global South. In the second section, the paper delves into the specific policy
challenges to data value chain regulation faced by developing countries. The third and final section
attempts a critical stocktaking of current policy trends and presents a transformative research
agenda that can help contribute to equitable data value chains.
