In centralized mechanisms and platforms, participants do not fully observe each others' type reports. Hence, if there is a deviation from the promised mechanism, participants may be unable to detect it. We formalize a notion of auditabilty that captures how easy or hard it is to detect...

What are the nexuses between corruption, bribery, and wait times in the public allocation of goods in developing countries? This question has received scant attention in the literature. Consequently, we use queuing theory to analyze models in which a good is allocated publically, first in a...

Sender conveys scarce information to a number of receivers to maximize the sum of receiver payoffs. Each receiver … regularity conditions, we show that the payoff of each receiver is convex in the amount of information she receives. Thus, it is … optimal for Sender to target information to a single receiver. We then study four extensions in which interior information …

We study credible information transmission by a benevolent Central Bank. We consider two possibilities: direct … revelation through an announcement, versus indirect information transmission through monetary policy. These two ways of … transmitting information have very different consequences. Since the objectives of the Central Bank and those of individual …

The standard state-spaces of asymmetric information preclude non- trivial forms of unawareness (Dekel, Lipman and … standard information structures with strong properties of knowledge. …

We define a generalized state-space model with interactive unawareness and probabilistic beliefs. Such models are desirable for many potential applications of asymmetric unawareness. We develop Bayesian games with unawareness, define equilibrium, and prove existence. We show how equilibria are...
