Monitoring with rich data

M Frick, R Iijima, Y Ishii - arXiv preprint arXiv:2312.16789, 2023 - arxiv.org
We consider moral hazard problems where a principal has access to rich monitoring data
about an agent's action. Rather than focusing on optimal contracts (which are known to in …

Multidimensional Screening with Rich Consumer Data

M Frick, R Iijima, Y Ishii - arXiv preprint arXiv:2411.06312, 2024 - arxiv.org
A multi-product monopolist faces a buyer who is privately informed about his valuations for
the goods. As is well-known, optimal mechanisms are in general complicated, while simple …

Learning in repeated interactions on networks

W Huang, P Strack, O Tamuz - Econometrica, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
We study how long‐lived, rational agents learn in a social network. In every period, after
observing the past actions of his neighbors, each agent receives a private signal, and …

The Asymptotic Cost of Complexity

MW Cripps - arXiv preprint arXiv:2408.14949, 2024 - arxiv.org
We propose a measure of learning efficiency for non-finite state spaces. We characterize the
complexity of a learning problem by the metric entropy of its state space. We then describe …

Commonality of Information and Commonality of Beliefs

Y Awaya, V Krishna - Available at SSRN 4114760, 2022 - papers.ssrn.com
A group of agents with a common prior receive informative signals about an unknown state
repeatedly over time. If these signals were public, agents' beliefs would be identical and …

Dynamics of Common Beliefs and the Value of Communication

K Shimizu - Available at SSRN 4937897, 2024 - papers.ssrn.com
We analyze the evolution of common beliefs among two agents, where one agent (the
informed) knows the true state while the other (the uninformed) learns the true state over T …

Biased Wisdom from the Crowd

D Zhao, Z Zhou - PBCSF-NIFR Research Paper Forthcoming, 2023 - papers.ssrn.com
This paper studies information aggregation through the strategic behavior of privately
informed agents under crowdfunding. In crowdfunding campaigns, agents pay a fixed …
