Secret Communication with Plausible Deniability
Xiaoyu Cheng, Yonggyun Kim, Michael P. H. Tam
Communication is secret if a message is independent of the state; however, the receiver's subsequent action may still reveal that she has acted on hidden information. This paper st…
Ambiguous Persuasion with Prior Ambiguity
Xiaoyu Cheng
Cheng (2025) establishes that in a persuasion game where both the sender and the receiver have Maxmin Expected Utility (MEU) preferences, the sender never strictly benefits from us…
On the Monotonicity of Information Costs
Xiaoyu Cheng, Yonggyun Kim
We study the monotonicity of information costs: more informative experiments must be more costly. As criteria for informativeness, we consider the standard information orders intro…
Improving Robust Decisions with Data
Xiaoyu Cheng
A decision-maker faces uncertainty governed by a data-generating process (DGP), which is only known to belong to a set of sequences of independent but possibly non-identical distri…
Robust Data-Driven Decisions Under Model Uncertainty
Xiaoyu Cheng
When sample data are governed by an unknown sequence of independent but possibly non-identical distributions, the data-generating process (DGP) in general cannot be perfectly ident…
Extended Relative Maximum Likelihood Updating of Choquet Beliefs
Xiaoyu Cheng
Cheng(2021) proposes and characterizes Relative Maximum Likelihood (RML) updating rule when the ambiguous beliefs are represented by a set of priors. Relatedly, this note proposes…
A Concavification Approach to Ambiguous Persuasion
Xiaoyu Cheng
This note shows that the value of ambiguous persuasion characterized in Beauchene, Li and Li(2019) can be given by a concavification program as in Bayesian persuasion (Kamenica and…
Ambiguous Persuasion: An Ex-Ante Formulation
Xiaoyu Cheng
Consider a persuasion game where both the sender and receiver are ambiguity averse with maxmin expected utility (MEU) preferences and the sender can choose an ambiguous information…
Relative Maximum Likelihood Updating of Ambiguous Beliefs
Xiaoyu Cheng
This paper proposes and axiomatizes a new updating rule: Relative Maximum Likelihood (RML) for ambiguous beliefs represented by a set of priors (C). This rule takes the form of app…
