EEA-ESEM 2022: JJ Laffont Lecture. Room: Aula Magna
Since David Blackwell’s work in the 1950s, one of the cornerstones of information economics has been the characterization of when one source of information is more valuable than another if the analyst is agnostic about the problem the decision maker is facing. To date, all results in this space have implicitly assumed that the two sources of information being compared are the only information the decision maker could have access to. This lecture presents a new research agenda that compares sources of information while remaining agnostic both about the decision maker’s problem and about whether the decision maker has access to other information.
The Laffont Lecture is sponsored by the Toulouse School of Economics. The ES thanks the Toulouse School of Economics for this support.
