Ambiguous Solicitation: Ambiguous Prescription

We conduct a two-phase laboratory experiment, separated by several weeks. In the first phase, we conduct urn games intended to measure ambiguity aversion on a representative population of undergraduate students. In the second phase, we invite the students back with four different solicitation treatments, varying in the ambiguity of information regarding the task and the payout of the laboratory...

Do Ambiguous Reconstructions Always Give Ambiguous Images?

In many cases self-calibration is not able to yield a unique solution for the 3D reconstruction of a scene. This is due to the occurrence of critical motion sequences. If this is the case, an ambiguity is left on the reconstruction. In this paper it is derived under which conditions correct novel views can be generated from ambiguous reconstructions. The problem is first approached from a theor...

With no prior ambiguity, Sender might choose to use ambiguous communication devices. The main result characterizes the value of optimal ambiguous persuasion, which is often higher than what is feasible under Bayesian persuasion. We character...
