Why is it important?
While different national and other regulatory authorities have created policies on data localization, the effects of the same are not well understood. In particular, the countervailing concern about data localization is any adverse effects that may occur on digital trade and commerce. In this work, we carry out an analysis using agent-based modeling, to help inform policy-makers and others about the likely effects of different types of data localization policies.
