Games of Communication, Persuasion and Disclosure Conference

The Games of Communication, Persuasion and Disclosure Conference, sponsored by the Kellogg Center for Mathematical Studies in Economics and Management Science, will bring together leading researchers to explore recent advances in cheap talk communication, disclosure of hard information, information design and Bayesian persuasion.
