Cheap-talk pregame communication
… study a form of pre-game communication, namely, cheap-talk. The framework first proposed by Farrell (1987) is extended to symmetric games with a finite but otherwise arbitrary number of actions. An alternative theory of cheap-talk pre-game communication is proposed and its effects characterized. …

Implementing Mediators with Cheap Talk
In this work we study the effects of cheap-talk in games with rational agents. We begin by showing that all asynchronous interactions between $n$ players and a mediator can be $t$-bisimulated without the mediator if $n > 4t$. Intuitively, $t$-bisimulation means that for any deviation performed by …

Cheap talk and costly consequences
In this thesis, we use data on political interactions between country pairs to predict changes in trade. We implemented and applied a new feature selection algorithm called Boruta to build a compact set of predictor variables for this task. After finding a consistent set of features we used a …

Essays on organizational economics and the heterogeneity of firm performance
… statements may thereby constitute informative cheap-talk. I consider a setting in which firms send costless mission statements at the start of the game, then with positive probability have an opportunity to send a costly signal of their type at a later stage. I show that this can generate …

Learning to trust in forecast information sharing
… models related to bounded rationality or cheap talk. We characterize how the supply chain environment changes trust and decisions. We find out that initial beliefs do not matter because they will be quickly adjusted by the market: the limiting behavior, as t --> [infinity], depends only on …

Essays on the Economics of Information
… attainable under unmediated communication, i.e., cheap talk. The lower bound is given by the cheap talk payoff. We provide a geometric characterization of when mediation strictly improves on this using the quasiconcave and quasiconvex envelopes of the sender’s value function. In canonical …
