Abstract
We study communication in games with incomplete information, four or more players and rational parameters. We show that every communication equilibrium can be implemented with unmediated communication taking place at the interim stage, i.e., after the players learn their types.
期刊介绍:
Many economists today are concerned by the proliferation of journals and the concomitant labyrinth of research to be conquered in order to reach the specific information they require. To combat this tendency, Economics Letters has been conceived and designed outside the realm of the traditional economics journal. As a Letters Journal, it consists of concise communications (letters) that provide a means of rapid and efficient dissemination of new results, models and methods in all fields of economic research.
