Echo chambers and their effects on economic and political outcomes

G Levy, R Razin - Annual Review of Economics, 2019 - annualreviews.org
In this review, we survey the economics literature on echo chambers. We identify echo
chambers as arising from a combination of two phenomena:(a) the choice of individuals to …

Persuasion with correlation neglect: a full manipulation result

G Levy, IM Barreda, R Razin - American Economic Review: Insights, 2022 - aeaweb.org
We consider an information design problem in which a sender tries to persuade a receiver
that has “correlation neglect,” ie, fails to understand that signals might be correlated. We …

Algorithmic robust forecast aggregation

Y Guo, JD Hartline, Z Huang, Y Kong, A Shah… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
Forecast aggregation combines the predictions of multiple forecasters to improve accuracy.
However, the lack of knowledge about forecasters' information structure hinders optimal …

Correlation misperception in choice

A Ellis, M Piccione - American Economic Review, 2017 - aeaweb.org
We present a decision-theoretic analysis of an agent's understanding of the
interdependencies in her choices. We provide the foundations for a simple and flexible …
