We examine the possibilities for communication between agents with divergent preferences in a noisy environment. Taking … Crawford and Sobel’s [4] (noiseless) communication game as a reference point, we study a model in which there is a probability … actions. Surprisingly, the possibility of error can improve the prospects for communication. We show that for small noise …

This paper shows that the efficiency bound for communication equilibria identified by Goltsman et al. (2009) in the …

communication games do not yield equilibria which (ex ante) outperform delegation. Referring to multiple experts allow the decision …-maker to obtain more information. However, this information can never be perfect, and sophisticated communication games, for … instance with multilateral, multistage communication, do not outperform simple communication methods. …

We compare communication about private information to communication about actions in a one- shot 2-person public good …

We provide a game theoretic analysis of how power shapes the clarity of communication. We analyze information … by an experiment. Finally, we show how partial information transmission can lead to communication failure, and show how …

This paper investigates the effect of different communication channels on promise-making and promise-keeping in a … helping situation. Four treatments differ with respect to the communication channel employed to solicit unincentivized … cooperation, i.e., face-to-face, phone call and two different sorts of computer-mediated communication. The less anonymous (face …
