Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
We show experimentally that whether and how communication
achieves beneficial social outcomes in a hidden-information context
depends crucially on whether low-talent agents can participate in
a Pareto-improving outcome. Communication is effective (and patterns
of lies and truth quite systematic) when this is feasible, but
otherwise completely ineffective. We examine the data in light of two
potentially relevant behavioral models: cost-of-lying and guilt-fromblame.
