    We study the GDPR's opt-in requirement in a model with a firm that provides a digital service and consumers who are heterogeneous in their valuations of the firm's service as well as the privacy costs incurred when sharing personal data with the firm. We show that the GDPR boosts demand for the service by allowing consumers with high privacy costs to buy the service without sharing data. The increased demand leads to a higher price but a smaller quantity of shared data. If the firm's revenue is largely usage-based rather than data-based, then both the firm's profit and consumer surplus increase after the GDPR, implying that the GDPR can be welfare-improving. But if the firm's revenue is largely from data monetization, then the GDPR can reduce the firm's profit and consumer surplus.

    In light of the persistent shortage of organ donations needed to save precious human lives, several countries have modified their organ donation laws introducing an opt-out system. Using a panel dataset covering a 21-year period, I apply a synthetic control approach to focus on countries that changed their prevailing organ donation legislation from opt-in to opt-out. I compare them to a synthetic counterfactual from countries that have kept their legislation the same since 1999. Synthetic control estimates show that Argentina and Wales achieved substantially higher organ donation rates with the shift from an opt-in to an opt-out system than without the reform taking place. My findings suggest that as one strategy among others, implementing opt-out cannot solve the organ shortage problem entirely but effectively contributes to reducing it considerably.
