我们研究一个仁慈的专家应该如何向一个有心理顾虑的代理人透露信息。我们首先提供了一种计算许多心理特征的最优信息策略的方法。例如,该方法表明,遭受诱惑的代理人(la Gul和Pesendorfer, 2001)不应该知道他错过了什么,从而将观察到的偏见解释为对昂贵的自我控制的最佳反应。我们还表明,当智能体本质上反对信息,但对信息有工具性的使用时,简单地推荐行动是最优的。这一结果规避了启示原则在心理环境中的失败,简化了披露,并为关于强制性披露的辩论提供了信息。(凝胶d11, d82, d83, d91)
We study how a benevolent expert should disclose information to an agent with psychological concerns. We first provide a method to compute an optimal information policy for many psychological traits. The method suggests, for instance, that an agent suffering from temptation à la Gul and Pesendorfer (2001) should not know what he is missing, thereby explaining observed biases as an optimal reaction to costly self-control. We also show that simply recommending actions is optimal when the agent is intrinsically averse to information but has instrumental uses for it. This result, which circumvents the failure of the Revelation Principle in psychological environments, simplifies disclosure and informs the debate regarding mandated disclosure.
