Overview

Systematic review uncovers key dimensions and typologies of incentive mechanisms for user data sharing, suggesting pathways to ensure consumer sovereignty in data ecosystems.

Key Points

To synthesize existing research on incentive mechanisms that foster user data sharing while maintaining consumer consent and data sovereignty within data ecosystems.
Conducted an extended systematic literature review to aggregate and synthesize existing scientific literature on data sharing incentives.
Inductively extracted dimensions, influencing factors, and conceptual models related to users' data sharing behavior.
Identified five key dimensions of incentive mechanisms and five distinct categories of influencing factors that shape sharing behavior.
Formulated a conceptually grounded typology detailing eight ideal types of incentive mechanisms tailored for data ecosystems.
