This paper characterizes geometrically the set of all Nash equilibrium payoffs achievable with unmediated communication …

-talk communication raises efficiency in bilateral contracting situations with adverse selection. We replicate their finding and check its … robustness by introducing competition between agents. We find that communication and competition act as substitutes …: communication raises efficiency in the absence of competition but lowers efficiency with competition, and competition raises …

We analyze the performance of various communication protocols in a generalization of the Crawford-Sobel (1982) model of … possible that informative communication with one or both receivers is impossible in private, but possible in public. When the … by public communication with the flexibility provided by private communication and transmit more information to the …

: communication, and punishment (allowing subjects to engage in costly reductions of one another’s earnings after learning of their … contribution decisions). We find that communication increases contributions more than punishment, and, taking into account the cost … of punishment, only communication significantly increases subjects’ earnings and thus efficiency. We study three forms of …

This note reconsiders communication between an informed expert and an uninformed decision maker with a strategic … mediator in a discrete Crawford and Sobel (1982) setting. We show that a strategic mediator may improve communication even when … he is biased into the same direction as the expert. The mediator improves communication, however, only if some …
