We study strategic communication between a Sender and Receiver who are both uncertain about their preferred actions … precisely a situation where communication about ideal policies is credible. The resulting equilibrium features message … strategies that are smooth in a subspace of the Sender's information. Smooth communication equilibria are extremely tractable …

This paper analyzes truthtelling incentives in pre-vote communication in heterogeneous committees. We generalize the …

posterior means. The existence of smooth communication equilibria depends on the relative usefulness of the signal structure to … communication equilibrium. The quality of smooth equilibrium communication is entirely determined by the correlation of interests …
