A Theory of Multidimensional Information Disclosure
نویسنده
چکیده
We study disclosure of information about the multidimensional state of the world when uninformed receivers’ actions affect the sender’s utility. Given a disclosure rule, the receivers form an expectation about the state following each message. Under the assumption that the sender’s expected utility is written as the expected value of a quadratic function of those conditional expectations, we identify conditions under which full and no disclosure is optimal for the sender and show that a linear transformation of the state is optimal if it is normally distributed. We apply our theory to advertising, political campaigning, and monetary policy. (JEL: D83, L15, M37, D72, E52)
