Bayesian persuasion under partial commitment

D Min - Economic Theory, 2021 - Springer
The “full commitment” assumption in the Bayesian persuasion literature might not always
hold: the sender might be tempted to deviate from an information structure to which he …

Test design under falsification

E Perez‐Richet, V Skreta - Econometrica, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
We study the optimal design of tests with manipulable inputs. Tests take a unidimensional
state of the world as input and output, an informative signal to guide a receiver's approve or …

[HTML][HTML] Bayesian persuasion with costly information acquisition

L Matyskova, A Montes - Journal of Economic Theory, 2023 - Elsevier
We consider a Bayesian persuasion model, in which the receiver can gather independent
information about the state at a uniformly posterior-separable cost. We show that the sender …

Regulation with experimentation: Ex ante approval, ex post withdrawal, and liability

E Henry, M Loseto, M Ottaviani - Management Science, 2022 - pubsonline.informs.org
We analyze the optimal mix of ex ante experimentation and ex post learning for the dynamic
adoption of activities with uncertain payoffs in a two-phase model of information diffusion. In …

Impacts of public information on flexible information acquisition

T Ui - arXiv preprint arXiv:2204.09250, 2022 - arxiv.org
Interacting agents receive public information at no cost and flexibly acquire private
information at a cost proportional to entropy reduction. When a policymaker provides more …

Persuading an inattentive and privately informed receiver

P Dall'Ara - arXiv preprint arXiv:2408.01250, 2024 - arxiv.org
I study the persuasion of a receiver who accesses information only if she exerts costly
attention effort. The sender designs an experiment to persuade the receiver to take a specific …

Deterrence, Diversion, and Encouragement: How Freely Provided Information May Distort Learning

X Cheng - Available at SSRN 4382692, 2023 - papers.ssrn.com
This paper investigates how a sender, by providing free information to a perfectly rational
receiver, can manipulate the receiver's learning (change the receiver's learning outcome) …

[PDF][PDF] Test design under falsification

V Skreta, E Perez-Richet - Work. Pap., Sci. Po, Paris Access provided …, 2018 - repec.cepr.org
We study the optimal design of tests with manipulable inputs: data, actions, reports. An agent
can, at a cost, falsify the input into the test, or state of the world, so as to influence the …

Existence of equilibria in persuasion games with costly information acquisition

A Montes - International Journal of Economic Theory, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
This paper studies public information disclosure in games with rationally inattentive players.
We establish how the existence of an optimal sender's strategy depends on the nature of the …

How to persuade a long-run decision maker

J Bizzotto, J Rüdiger, A Vigier - Available at SSRN 2706683, 2017 - papers.ssrn.com
We examine the Bayesian persuasion of a long-run decision maker by a long-run
information designer. Each period until a deadline is reached the decision maker can …
