van Damme, Eric; Potters, Jan; Serra Garcia, M. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2011

We compare communication about private information to communication about actions in a one- shot 2-person public good …

Which Words Bond? An Experiment on Signaling in a Public Good Game (replaced by CentER DP 2011-139)

van Damme, Eric; Potters, Jan; Serra Garcia, M. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2010

We compare signaling by words and actions in a one-shot 2-person public good game with private information. The informed player, who knows the exact return from contributing, can signal by contributing first (actions) or by sending a costless message (words). Words can be about the return or...

A class of strategy-correlated equilibria in sender–receiver games

Blume, Andreas - In: Games and Economic Behavior 75 (2012) 2, pp. 510-517

Noisy talk

Board, Oliver J.; Blume, Andreas; Kawamura, Kohei - In: Theoretical Economics 2 (2007) 4

We investigate strategic information transmission with communication error, or noise. Our main finding is that adding … it possible to achieve the best payoff that can be obtained by means of any communication device. As in the model without …

Noisy Talk

Blume, Andreas; Board, Oliver; Kawamura, Kohei - School of Economics, University of Edinburgh - 2007

We examine the possibilities for communication between agents with divergent preferences in a noisy environment. Taking … Crawford and Sobel’s [4] (noiseless) communication game as a reference point, we study a model in which there is a probability … actions. Surprisingly, the possibility of error can improve the prospects for communication. We show that for small noise …

Robustness of full revelation in multisender cheap talk

Meyer, Margaret A.; Moreno de Barreda, Inés; Nafziger, … - In: Theoretical economics : TE ; an open access journal in … 14 (2019) 4, pp. 1203-1235

This paper studies information transmission in a two-sender, multidimensional cheap talk setting where there are exogenous constraints on the (convex) feasible set of policies for the receiver and where the receiver is uncertain about both the directions and the magnitudes of the senders' bias...

Lost in transmission

Graeber, Thomas Wilhelm; Noy, Shakked; Roth, Christopher - 2024

For many decisions, people rely on information received from others by word of mouth. How does the process of verbal transmission distort economic information? In our experiments, participants listen to audio recordings containing economic forecasts and are paid to accurately transmit the...

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...

The Importance of the Cognitive Environment for Intertemporal Choice

Kuhn, Michael - 2013

We experimentally manipulate two aspects of the cognitive environment, cognitive depletion and recent sugar intake, and estimate their effects on individuals' time preferences in a way that allows us to identify the structural parameters of a simple (α,β,δ) intertemporal utility function for...
