Abstract:

We experimentally study the effectiveness of information disclosure in a binary-action supermodular game with state-dependent payoff. An information designer, who observes the state, aims to maximize the choice of high (instead of low) action by the players who are unaware of the state. The players prefer the high action when the state is “favorable”; when it’s “unfavorable”, they prefer the low action. The designer utilizes information disclosure to induce high action. We find in the experiment that, compared to no disclosure, both truthful and persuasive disclosures can raise frequency of the high action. We also find that, contrary to predictions, persuasive disclosure fails to be better than truthful disclosure.
