Communication, Credible Improvements and the Core of an Economy with Asymmetric Information

Oscar Volij ()

Economic theory and game theory from Oscar Volij

Abstract: We analyze an economy with asymmetric information and endogenize the possibilities for information transmission between members of a coalition. We then define a concept of the Core that takes into account these communication possibilities. The internal consistency of the improvements is considered and an Internally Consistent Core, which requires credibility from the improvements is introduced.
