 Subject: Intrinsic Preferences for theTiming and the Skewness of Information Revelation: Experimental Evidence onInformation Structures and Compound Lotteries

Abstract: We explore intrinsic preferences for gradual information revelationwith different skewness (positive, negative, or symmetric) in two informationenvironments. In a compound lottery” environment, non-skewed information revelationis preferred, while in an otherwise equivalent “information structure”environment, positively skewed information revelation is preferred. In bothenvironments, early resolution is preferred over late resolution, with the threetypes of gradual resolution positioned in between. Our study integrates variousfacets of intrinsic preferences only studied separately to date, relates thefindings to behavioral theories, and shows that careful consideration of theinformation environment is necessary when investigating preferences for gradualinformation revelation.

The online meeting will be held on Sunday, November14th , 2021. 13:15-14:30
