Monotone function intervals: Theory and applications
KH Yang, AK Zentefis - American Economic Review, 2024 - aeaweb.org
A monotone function interval is the set of monotone functions that lie pointwise between two
fixed,-monotone functions. We characterize the set of extreme points of monotone function …

Optimal information disclosure in classic auctions
We characterize the revenue-maximizing information structure in the second-price auction.
The seller faces a trade-off: more information improves the efficiency of the allocation but …

Persuasion with non-linear preferences
In persuasion problems where the receiver's action is one-dimensional and his utility is
single-peaked, optimal signals are characterized by duality, based on a first-order approach …

Distributions of posterior quantiles via matching
A Kolotilin, A Wolitzky - Theoretical Economics, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
We offer a simple analysis of the problem of choosing a statistical experiment to optimize the
induced distribution of posterior medians or, more generally, q‐quantiles for any q∈(0, 1) …

Optimal disclosure of information to privately informed agents
O Candogan, P Strack - Theoretical Economics, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
We study information design with multiple privately informed agents who interact in a game.
Each agent's utility is linear in a real‐valued state. We show that there always exists an …

Electoral maldistricting
We introduce a framework to theoretically and empirically examine electoral maldistricting—
the intentional drawing of electoral districts to advance partisan objectives, compromising …

Extreme Points and First-Order Stochastic Dominance: Theory and Applications
KH Yang, AK Zentefis - arXiv preprint arXiv:2302.03135, 2023 - arxiv.org
We characterize the extreme points of first-order stochastic dominance (FOSD) intervals and
show how these intervals are at the heart of many topics in economics. Using these extreme …
