Communicating subjective evaluations
Lang, Matthias - 2014
Should principals explain and justify their evaluations? Suppose the principal's evaluation is private information, but she can provide justification by sending a costly cheap-talk message. If she does not provide justification, her message space is restricted, but the message is costless. I...

Deceptive communication
Alempaki, Despoina; Burdea, Valeria; Read, Daniel - 2021
In cases of conflict of interest, people can lie directly about payoff relevant private information, or they can evade the truth without lying directly. We analyse this situation theoretically and test the key predictions in an experimental sender-receiver setting. We find senders prefer to...

Academics' attitudes toward engaging in public discussions : experimental evidence on the impact of engagement conditions
Püttmann, Vitus; Ruhose, Jens; Thomsen, Stephan L. - 2021
Academics are increasingly expected to engage in public discussions. We study how engagement conditions affect academics’ engagement attitudes via a survey experiment among 4,091 tenured professors in Germany. Consistent with the crowding-out of intrinsic motivation, we find lesspositive...

Communication costs, direct flights and international trade
Furusawa, Taiji; Sun, Chang; Tang, Heiwai; Zhang, Jiaxu - 2024
We build a general equilibrium model of endogenous communication, quality control and trade. We derive a structural gravity equation from the model and show that exogenous communication costs raise the costs of quality control and have a larger impact on products with a lower elasticity of...

Social preferences, trust, and communication when the truth hurts
Gehle, Jonathan; Siemens, Ferdinand von - 2024
We investigate how heterogeneous social preferences affect the communication of painful information in social relationships. We characterize the existence conditions for a pooling equilibrium in which individuals conceal painful information because revealing the latter would signal that they are...
