Strategic disclosure in networks

Key Points

• The central aim is to understand how verifiable information can be strategically disclosed through networks to influence decision-making.
• Examined strategic disclosure dynamics in networks among players with varying biases.
• Identified equilibrium conditions for full disclosure based on player alignment to decision makers.
• Analyzed optimal network configurations to determine immunity to coalitional deviations.
• Full disclosure requires all players to have aligned biases relative to the decision maker.
• The optimal network configuration is a linear arrangement based on players' bliss points.
• Identified unique conditions that prevent coalitional deviations in information sharing.
