posterior means. The existence of smooth communication equilibria depends on the relative usefulness of the signal structure to … communication equilibrium. The quality of smooth equilibrium communication is entirely determined by the correlation of interests …

We study strategic communication between a Sender and Receiver who are both uncertain about their preferred actions … precisely a situation where communication about ideal policies is credible. The resulting equilibrium features message … strategies that are smooth in a subspace of the Sender's information. Smooth communication equilibria are extremely tractable …

We analyze the effect of investments in corporate social responsibility (CSR) on workers' motivation. In our experiment …, a gift exchange game variant, CSR is captured by donating a certain share of profits to a charity. We are testing for … CSR effects by varying the possible share of profits given away. Additionally, we investigate the effect of a mission …
