how power shapes clarity of communication. We analyze information transmission in a cheap talk bargaining game between an … informed Sender and an uninformed Receiver. Our main result is that the maximum amount of information transmission is … whose preferences are closely aligned with the Receiver can completely reveal their information in equilibrium.

We investigate the role of advisers in the transmission of ethically relevant information, a critical aspect of … "inconvenient'' information. Suppression is not strategic, but based on the advisers' own preferences in the ethical dilemma. On the … demand side, a substantial minority of decision makers avoid advisers who transmit inconvenient information (they "shoot the …

We experimentally investigate strategic communication about the impact of prosocial actions, which is central to policy debates about foreign aid or the environment. In our experiment, a “sender” receives an informative but noisy signal about the impact of a charitable donation. She then...

We provide a game theoretic analysis of how power shapes the clarity of communication. We analyze information … maximum amount of information that can be transmitted in equilibrium is increasing in the bargaining power of the Sender … predict that information transmission is increasing in the Sender's relative bargaining power. This prediction is corroborated …

In the past, many refinements have been proposed to select equilibria in cheap talk games. Usually, these refinements were motivated by a discussion of how rational agents would reason in some particular cheap talk games. In this paper, we propose a behavioral refinement and stability measure...

A physician performs two tasks: making diagnoses and determining treatments. To reduce medical error, residents are supposed to consult their supervisors when they face uncommon circumstances. However, recent research shows that residents are reluctant to do so. This paper presents a model that...

Using simple game-theoretical models, this paper studies the role of pre-determined rules for HRM policies. We consider a model in which HRM decisions affect employees' self-images and thereby their motivation. We show that in the absence of written rules, managers are too reluctant (1) to...
