This paper explores the interplay between competition and data privacy. It analyses their respective objectives and examines how considerations pertaining to one policy area have been, or could be, included into the other. Furthermore, it investigates enforcement interventions and regulatory measures that could foster synergies or lead to potential challenges.

It outlines the potential of such measures, and presents relevant findings from the cross-country OECD 'Survey on Environmental Policies and Individual Behaviour Change' (EPIC) on the main barriers that households face in adopting sustainable behaviours.

This paper considers the likely effects of public policies on workers in the transition to net zero. While aggregate employment effects could be relatively small, the authors argue that the combination of policies and technological change required to bring about decarbonisation will require considerable reallocation of production factors.
