We propose to strengthen Popper's notion of falsifiability by adding the requirement that when an observation is inconsistent with a theory, there must be a "short proof" of this inconsistency. We model the concept of a short proof using tools from computational complexity, and provide some...

The Bayesian persuasion model studies communication between an informed sender and a receiver with a payoff-relevant action, emphasizing the ability of a sender to extract maximal surplus from his informational advantage. In this paper we study a setting with multiple senders, but in which the...

We analyze repeated games in which players have private information about their levels of patience and in which they would like to maintain the privacy of this information vis-a-vis third parties. We show that privacy protection in the form of shielding players' actions from outside observers is...
