What are the value and form of optimal persuasion when information can be generated only slowly? We study this question … in a dynamic model in which a `sender' provides public information over time subject to a graduality constraint, and a … sender's equilibrium value function and information provision. We show that the graduality constraint inhibits information …

We investigate strategic information transmission with communication error, or noise. Our main finding is that adding …

Costly delay in negotiations can induce the negotiating parties to be more forthcoming with their information and … time that would allow efficient information aggregation in equilibrium. …

This paper analyzes the optimal provision of incentives in a dynamic information acquisition process. In every period …, the agent can acquire costly information that is relevant to the principal's decision. Each signal may or may not provide …. First, we assume that the agent has no private information at the time of contracting. Under the optimal mechanism, the …

intermediation in these equilibria cannot improve information transmission. However, none of these conclusions hold for mixed …

conflict within the committee. We also compare decisions made by committees consisting of specialized experts to decisions made … by committees of generalists who can each assess all information available. The acceptance standard decreases (increases …) in the degree of conflict when information is public (private). In both cases welfare decreases in the level of conflict …

We develop a model of information exchange through communication and investigate its implications for information …{private signal} correlated with the underlying state, they exchange information over the induced \textit{communication network} until … ``information hubs'', which receive and distribute a large amount of information. Asymptotic learning therefore requires information …
