SCREENING ETHICS WHEN HONEST AGENTS CARE ABOUT FAIRNESS *
A principal faces an agent with private information who is either honest or dishonest. Honesty involves revealing private information truthfully if the probability that the equilibrium allocation...
Informational externalities with lump-sum sampling
Carole Haritchabalet, Régis Renault
We consider a game of strategic experimentation where agents are restricted to an all-or-nothing sampling strategy. The strategic interaction between agents due to informational externalities is...

This article introduces status as reflecting an agent's claim to recognition in her work. This is a scarce resource: increasing an agent's status requires that another agent's status be decreased....

Protecting minorities through the average voting rules
Properties of an average voting rule - the outcome being some weighted average of votes - are investigated, with particular attention to its ability to protect minorities. The unique average voting...

Assessing the extent of strategic manipulation for the average voting rule
The average voting procedure reflects the weighted average of expressed opinions in [0,1]. Participants typically behave strategically. We evaluate the discrepancy between the average taste and the...

Efficiency and surplus bounds in Cournot competition
Simon P. Anderson, Régis Renault
We derive bounds on the ratios of deadweight loss and consumer surplus to producer surplus under Cournot competition. To do so, we introduce a parameterization of the degree of curvature of market...

Empirical evidence suggests that most advertisements contain little direct informa- tion. Many do not mention prices. We analyze a firm'ss choice of advertising content and the information disclosed...
Comparative Advertising: disclosing horizontal match information
Simon P. ANDERSON, Régis RENAULT
Improved consumer information about (symmetric) products can lead to better matching but also higher prices, so consumer surplus can go up or down, while profits rise. With enough firm asymmetry...
Comparative advertising: disclosing horizontal match information
Simon P. Anderson, Régis Renault
Improved consumer information about horizontal aspects of products of similar quality leads to better consumer matching but also to higher prices, so consumer surplus can go up or down, while profits...
