12月7日(木)に行われます、現政研セミナーの日程

場所などにつきましてご案内申し上げます。

 

【日 時】12月7日(木)10:40~12:10

【場 所】早稲田大学 早稲田キャンパス3号館12階 ディスカッションルーム

【報告者】村山 光太(米国ノースウェスタン大学博士課程)

【タイトル】Social Value of Information in Networked Economy

【招聘教員】河村耕平

【要約】

This paper extends a beauty contest model to allow asymmetric interactions. As in Morris and Shin (2002), agents want to take actions close to the underlying economic fundamental, but at the same time, benefit from coordinating their actions each other. The benefits from coordination can be heterogeneous and are described by an interaction network whose link represents the intensity of interaction between two agents. There are two main results. First, I revisit Morris and Shin’s question: should a government always increase public disclosure? I show that more public information is always better if and only if the Bonacich centrality vector of the interaction network is sufficiently small. Second, I consider an environment where a government can disseminate information only to a fixed number of agents, and characterize the optimal selection of agents. The government typically should target agents whose interaction sub-network gives the smallest Bonacich centrality vector.

【Abstract】

This paper extends a beauty contest model to allow asymmetric interactions. As in Morris and Shin (2002), agents want to take actions close to the underlying economic fundamental, but at the same time, benefit from coordinating their actions each other. The benefits from coordination can be heterogeneous and are described by an interaction network whose link represents the intensity of interaction between two agents. There are two main results. First, I revisit Morris and Shin’s question: should a government always increase public disclosure? I show that more public information is always better if and only if the Bonacich centrality vector of the interaction network is sufficiently small. Second, I consider an environment where a government can disseminate information only to a fixed number of agents, and characterize the optimal selection of agents. The government typically should target agents whose interaction sub-network gives the smallest Bonacich centrality vector.
