Sharp Tail Bounds Beyond Twice the Mean
Philipp Strack, Jannik M. Westermann
Consider independent, non-negative, mean at most one random variables, . We show the following bound on the probability of their sum exceeding a threshold :…
Learning Through Imitation: An Experiment
Marina Agranov, Gabriel Lopez-Moctezuma, Philipp Strack +1
We compare how well agents aggregate information in two repeated social learning environments. In the first setting agents have access to a public data set. In the second they have…
Learning in Repeated Interactions on Networks
Wanying Huang, Philipp Strack, Omer Tamuz
We study how long-lived, rational agents learn in a social network. In every period, after observing the past actions of his neighbors, each agent receives a private signal, and ch…
Monotone additive statistics
Xiaosheng Mu, Luciano Pomatto, Philipp Strack +1
The expectation is an example of a descriptive statistic that is monotone with respect to stochastic dominance, and additive for sums of independent random variables. We provide a…
Optimal Disclosure of Information to a Privately Informed Receiver
Ozan Candogan, Philipp Strack
We study information design settings where the designer controls information about a state, and there are multiple agents interacting in a game who are privately informed about the…

Xiaosheng Mu, Luciano Pomatto, Philipp Strack +1
We show that under plausible levels of background risk, no theory of choice under risk -- such as expected utility theory, prospect theory, or rank dependent utility -- can simulta…
