Comparative risk attitude and the aggregation of single-crossing
Gregorio Curello, Ludvig Sinander, Mark Whitmeyer
In choice under risk, there is a standard notion of 'less risk-averse than', due to Yaari (1969). In the theory of comparative statics, the single-crossing property is satisfied by…
Outside options and risk attitude
Gregorio Curello, Ludvig Sinander, Mark Whitmeyer
We uncover a close link between outside options and risk attitude: when a decision-maker gains access to an outside option, her behaviour becomes less risk-averse, and conversely,…
Uncharted Waters: Selling a New Product Robustly
Kun Zhang
New products often involve uncertainty about product fit, while sellers may also be unsure about what alternatives buyers face. I study a seller of a new product who sets a price a…
Optimism, overconfidence, and moral hazard
Ludvig Sinander
I revisit the standard moral-hazard model, in which an agent's preference over contracts is rooted in costly effort choice. I characterise the behavioural content of the model in t…
Comparative statics with adjustment costs and the Le Chatelier principle
Eddie Dekel, John K. -H. Quah, Ludvig Sinander
We develop a theory of monotone comparative statics for models with adjustment costs. We show that comparative-statics conclusions may be drawn under the usual ordinal complementar…
Statistical discrimination and statistical informativeness
Matteo Escudé, Paula Onuchic, Ludvig Sinander +1
We study the link between Phelps-Aigner-Cain-type statistical discrimination and familiar notions of statistical informativeness. Our central insight is that Blackwell's Theorem, s…
The comparative statics of persuasion
Gregorio Curello, Ludvig Sinander
In the persuasion model, apart from a few special cases, comparative statics has been an open question. We answer it, delineating which shifts of the sender's interim payoff lead h…
Screening for breakthroughs: Omitted proofs
Gregorio Curello, Ludvig Sinander
This document contains all proofs omitted from our working paper 'Screening for breakthroughs'; specifically, the March 2025 version of the paper (arXiv:2011.10090v9).
Screening for breakthroughs
Gregorio Curello, Ludvig Sinander
How best to incentivise prompt disclosure? We study this question in a general model in which a technological breakthrough occurs at an uncertain time and is privately observed by…
Agenda-manipulation in ranking
Gregorio Curello, Ludvig Sinander
We study the susceptibility of committee governance (e.g. by boards of directors), modelled as the collective determination of a ranking of a set of alternatives, to manipulation o…
The converse envelope theorem
Ludvig Sinander
I prove an envelope theorem with a converse: the envelope formula is equivalent to a first-order condition. Like Milgrom and Segal's (2002) envelope theorem, my result requires no…
Slow persuasion
Matteo Escudé, Ludvig Sinander
What are the value and form of optimal persuasion when information can be generated only slowly? We study this question in a dynamic model in which a 'sender' provides public infor…
Single-crossing dominance: A preference lattice
Gregorio Curello, Ludvig Sinander
Most comparisons of preferences are instances of single-crossing dominance. We examine the lattice structure of single-crossing dominance, proving characterisation, existence and u…
Strictly strategy-proof auctions
Matteo Escudé, Ludvig Sinander
A strictly strategy-proof mechanism is one that asks agents to use strictly dominant strategies. In the canonical one-dimensional mechanism design setting with private values, we s…
