Learning is crucial to organizational decision making but often needs to be delegated. We examine a dynamic delegation … the principal, privately learns the profitability over time and communicates to the principal. We formulate learning … delegation as a dynamic mechanism design problem and characterize the optimal delegation scheme. We show that private learning …

We find that more efficient observational learning leads to more accurate predictions in the endogenous treatments and … strength. Simultaneous decisions in endogenous ordering avoid observational learning and compensate the higher degree of …

We solve a long-term contracting problem with symmetric uncertainty about the agent's quality, and a hidden action of the agent. As information about quality accumulates, incentives become easier to provide because the agent has less room to manipulate the principal's beliefs. This result is...

We develop a dynamic framework of strategic information transmission through cheap talk in a social network. Privately informed agents have different preferences about the action to be implemented by each agent and repeatedly communicate with their neighbors in the network. We first characterize...
