Strategic information transmission

[PDF] from bu.edu
VP Crawford… - Econometrica: Journal of the Econometric Society, 1982 - JSTOR
This paper develops a model of strategic communication, in which a better-informed Sender

Equilibrium selection in signaling games

JS Banks… - Econometrica: Journal of the Econometric Society, 1987 - JSTOR
This paper studies the sequential equilibria of signaling games. It introduces a new solution
concept, divine equilibrium, that refines the set of sequential equilibria by requiring that off-
the-equilibrium-path beliefs satisfy an additional restriction. This restriction rules out ...
