Abstract
Information acquisition and transmission are regular parts of many economic
interactions, from product purchases to games of persuasion and markets for information
itself. In my dissertation, I use game-theoretic techniques to analyze models in which
information passes between agents. In several distinct settings, I show how policies
which directly inhibit the transmission or usefulness of information can counterintuitively
lead to better information acquisition and higher social welfare.
