Economic Theory Conference IV

2018
The way agents communicate, collect, and use information is essential for many strategic interactions, whether between co-workers, traders, firms, or governments. As technology advances, the information available to such agents has grown increasingly complex. At this year’s fourth annual BFI summer conference in economic theory, we will explore recent theoretical advances in these and other topics.
