Communication & Competition
Charness and Dufwenberg (American Economic Review, June 2011, 1211-1237) have recently demonstrated that cheap-talk communication raises efficiency in bilateral contracting situations with adverse selection. We replicate their finding and check its robustness by introducing competition between agents. We find that communication and competition act as “substitutes:” communication raises efficien...
متن کاملCompetition and Cooperation in Multiuser Communication Environments
A communication environment with multiple transmitters and multiple receivers is inherently a competitive environment. The aim of this thesis is to illustrate the role of competition and the value of cooperation in a multi-user communication environment from an information-theoretical perspective. Various scenarios will be treated, including the multiple access channel where receivers cooperate...
متن کاملCompetition in communication networks: Pricing and regulation
1. Introduction By any measure, the communication sector is important. The combined revenues of the U.S. telephone and postal industries are larger than military spending for that country, and almost three times higher than the revenues of the airline industry. (Table 1, taken from Odlyzko (2000), gives further comparisons.) The sector has been expanding for many centuries. The postal service a...
متن کاملMulticellular behavior in bacteria: communication, cooperation, competition and cheating.
The sociobiology of bacteria, largely unappreciated and ignored by the microbiology research community two decades ago is now a major research area, catalyzed to a significant degree by studies of communication and cooperative behavior among the myxobacteria and in quorum sensing (QS) and biofilm formation by pseudomonads and other microbes. Recently, the topic of multicellular cooperative beha...
متن کاملCompetition, preference uncertainty, and jamming: A strategic communication experiment
We conduct a game-theoretic laboratory experiment to investigate the nature of information transmission in a communication environment featuring competition and information asymmetry. Two senders have private information about their preferences and simultaneously send messages to a receiver in a one-dimensional space with a large number of states, actions, and messages. We find that equilibrium...
