Project Description
This research project aims to test the property of information cost functions known as Blackwell monotonicity. Blackwell monotonicity is a key property that describes how the cost of acquiring information should change as the quality of information improves. To explore this, we will first build a theoretical framework predicting the behavior of information cost functions under Blackwell monotonicity. Following this, we will design and conduct an empirical experiment to test these theoretical predictions.Research Tasks: Data Collection
Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Real Analysis required
Linear Algebra required
