For a number of applications of signaling, it is sometimes more reasonable to assume that senders rather than nature … identify a general class of such endogenous signaling problems. We provide a relatively straightforward method to characterize … the reasonable equilibria for these problems. A simple class of monotone endogenous signaling games is characterized to …

This paper examines how multidimensional private information by asset sellers affects market equilibrium. I find that when asset quality is the only source of private information, sellers with high-quality assets signal their quality to buyers through partial retention of assets if and only if...

Due to the well-known efficiency--rent extraction trade-off, the optimal mechanism in a pure screening environment (e.g., revenue maximization in auctions or cost minimization in procurement) typically calls for distortions in allocative efficiency when agents possess private information at the...

Network externality is a prominent feature of increasingly many products: the marginal payoff of one's consumption increases as his neighbors consume more. In- formation of network structure is important to the seller, but is often privately known to the buyers. We model a monopoly's optimal...

This paper develops a simple competitive search model to study illiquidity and partial retention of assets as signals of asset quality in markets with private information. I find that both signals are used in equilibrium. However, for sellers with high-quality assets, illiquidity is preferred...
