	abstract = {<p>We propose and initiate the study of privacy elasticity{\textemdash}the responsiveness of economic variables to small changes in the level of privacy given to participants in an economic system. Individuals rarely experience either full privacy or a complete lack of privacy; we propose to use differential privacy{\textemdash}a computer-science theory increasingly adopted by industry and government{\textemdash}as a standardized means of quantifying continuous privacy changes. The resulting privacy measure implies a privacy-elasticity notion that is portable and comparable across contexts. We demonstrate the feasibility of this approach by estimating the privacy elasticity of public-good contributions in a lab experiment.</p>},
