I study problems of mechanism design with multiple dimensions of asymmetric information, with endogenous information, or both. In [1] and [2], information is endogenously acquired and then reported. Contracts that induce information acquisition increase the riskiness of choices. In the delegation problem in [1] this is achieved through eliminating compromising choices from an agent's choice set.
In [2], monetary payments are used to this end. In recent projects, we study information acquisition in problems of strategic information transmission.
In the taxation context studied in [3] individuals know their productivities in various jobs while the government does not. Redistribution between individuals of different abilities involves screening some individuals in and others out of the redistribution system. Ongoing work extends the techniques to the problem of technology choice for a regulated producer and to the problem of price discrimination of a multiproduct firm.
