Communication with multiple senders : an experiment
Vespa, Emanuel; Wilson, Alistair J. - In: Quantitative economics : QE ; journal of the … 7 (2016) 1, pp. 1-36
We implement multi-sender cheap talk in the laboratory. While full-information transmission is not theoretically feasible in the standard one-sender-one- dimension model, in this setting with more senders and dimensions, full revelation is generically a robust equilibrium outcome. Our...
