Discussion: Asymmetric Information, Signaling, and Optimal Corporate Financial Decisions

Gordon Sick

Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis, 1981, vol. 16, issue 4, 437-438

Abstract: This paper generalizes the past signaling literature from one variable to many. Multivariate models have been studied in the general rational expectations literature (e.g., Allen [1], Kraus and Sick [3]), but this appears to be the first multivariate signaling application. (Here, I distinguish signaling from rational expectations literature by the fact that agents may attempt to promulgate, suppress, or add noise to signals.) Talmor studies signaling models which are fully revealing (i.e., for which, in equilibrium, the values of the signaled parameters are correct).
