Cheap talk when interests conflict.
Most evolutionary analyses of animal communication suggest that low-cost signals can evolve only when both the signaller and the recipient rank outcomes in the same order. When there is a conflict of interest between sender and receiver, honest signals must be costly. However, recent work suggests that low-cost signals can be evolutionarily stable, even when the sender and the receiver rank out...
متن کاملEndogenous ambiguity in cheap talk
We provide a rationale for ambiguous communication. We do so by considering a cheap talk game in which a (possibly ambiguity averse) sender (S) able to randomize according to unknown probabilities faces an ambiguity averse receiver (R). We show that under fairly general circumstances, there exist equilibria featuring Ellsbergian communication strategies that allow both S and R to obtain a highe...

We consider a cheap-talk setting that mimics the situation where an incumbent firm (the sender) is endowed with incentives to understate the true size of the market demand to two potential entrants (the receivers). Although our experimental data reveals that senders’ messages convey truthful information and this is picked up by the receivers, this overcommunication (relative to standard theoret...
متن کاملCheap Talk with Two Audiences
When an informed party can engage in cheap talk with more than one audience, we show how the presence of one audience may either discipline or subvert the speaker's relationship with the other audience. We ask how welfare is affected by public or private disclosure, and predict how much communication will take place. Keyvt^ords. cheap talk, signaling, communication, incentives. Cheap Talk with ...
متن کاملReputational cheap talk with misunderstanding

When communication between the sender and each receiver is private, we identify an equilibrium in which the sender only discloses the least noisy information. Hence, what determines the amount of information ...
