In signaling environments ranging from consumption to education, high quality senders often shun the standard signals that should separate them from lower quality senders. We find that allowing for additional, noisy information on sender quality permits equilibria where medium types signal to...

A literature in the social sciences proposes that humans can promote cooperation with strangers by signaling their generosity through investment in unrelated pro-social activities. This paper studied this hypothesis by conducting a laboratory experiment with an infinitely repeated prisoner’s...

A job applicant’s investment in education can function as a signal of her high productivity under certain circumstances. Might an entrepreneur’s choice to opt-in to a tax regime act in much the same way, as a signal of her business’s high quality? This paper explores the counter-intuitive...

Sources of noise are sound generated by the engine, heat noise, wind noise, etc. In telecommunication the noise that effects much more to the speech signal is additive white Gaussian noise. So, analysis of speech signal is an important factor for the telecommunication industries. And...

Firm relations, which inform competitive environments of firms, are critical to firm operations and are often factored into investor decisions. Previous studies and practices have considered relatively stable and long-term business relations as an indicator of firm market value. Public news...

We study the removal of information from a market, such as a job-applicant screening tool. We characterize how removal harms groups with relative advantage in that information: typically those for whom the banned information is most precise relative to alternative signals. We illustrate this...

Problem definition: This paper studies an entrepreneur's pricing strategy in a reward-based crowdfund-ing campaign under asymmetric product quality information. We propose two signaling mechanisms and investigate the relative performance of these mechanisms under different market...
