In this paper, I studied an information acquisition problem: a decision maker acquires information about payoff relevant states to facilitate decision making. My primary focus is on flexibility: the decision maker can choose any dynamic signal process as information source, subject to cost on...

In "Marketing Information: A Competitive Analysis,'' Sarvary and Parker (1997) (S&P) [Marketing Science, 16(1): 24-38] argue that in part of the parameter space that they considered, a reduction in the price of one information product can lead to an increase in demand for another information...

I investigate the decision problem of a player in a game of incomplete information who faces uncertainty about the … rationality and eliminate all strategies which are not rationalizable. Second, I apply the maximin expected utility criterion … uncertainty. A bidder following this decision criterion in a first-price auction expects all other bidders to bid their highest …

This article develops a Bayesian persuasion model examining a manager's incentives to gather information when the manager can disseminate this information selectively to interested parties (“users”) and when the objectives of the manager and the users are not perfectly aligned. The model...

We propose a model of instrumental belief choice under loss aversion. When new information arrives, an agent is prompted to abandon her prior. However, potential posteriors may induce her to take actions that generate a lower utility in some states than actions induced by her prior. These losses...

Consider an investment problem with strategic complementarities and incomplete information about returns. This paper shows that investors aggregate their private information in equilibrium by trading a token and observing its market price over multiple rounds before making the investment...

We study cheap talk communication in a simple two actions-two states model featuring ambiguous priors. First, we find that in equilibrium, S typically mixes between messages triggering different behavior by R while R himself mixes after some message. Technically, the mixing performed by S is...
