We show that bargaining dramatically improves efficiency, mainly to … the benefit of players rather than the silent auctioneer. A protocol of unconstrained simultaneous bargaining performs …

information is symmetrically distributed and the scoring bias is set to offset the initial asymmetry between players … signals and (ii) endogenous information structure. We show that information favoritism can play a useful role in addressing …

We then compare two theories of information aggregation: a naive model in which people double-count signals … source of information. We show that to distinguish between these models of aggregation, it is critical to explicitly account …
