Unveiling the unseen illness : public health warnings and heat stroke
Lusher, Lester; Ruberg, Tim - 2025 - This draft: March 20, 2025
We utilize region-day variation in actual vs. forecasted weather conditions (i.e. forecasting errors) to comprehensively investigate the effects of the first heat-health warning system in Japan. We find that heat alerts led to a 17% increase in heat stroke counts. An analysis of mechanisms...

Data brokers co-opetition
Gu, Yiquan; Madio, Leonardo; Reggiani, Carlo - 2019
Data brokers collect, manage, and sell customer data. We propose a simple model, in which data brokers sell data to … downstream firms. We characterise the optimal strategy of data brokers and highlight the role played by the data structure for co …-opetition. If data are "sub-additive", with the combined value lower than the sum of the values of the two datasets, data brokers …
