Alessandro Ispano

No 2022-13, THEMA Working Papers from THEMA (THéorie Economique, Modélisation et Applications), Université de Cergy-Pontoise

Abstract: persuader influences a decision-maker by providing a model for interpreting some upcoming news. The decision-maker adopts the model if it does not distort the marginal distribution of news. Both parties can benefit if the persuader can provide news contingent, overall incoherent, models, privately learn the truth, or design the process of news arrival.
