讲座主要内容
intermediaries often engage in partial information disclosure, which can take the form of either overreporting and underreporting, especially when intermediaries and sellers have asymmetric payoff allocation due to varying responsibilities. this can lead to additional channel conflict beyond the classic double marginalization problem. in this paper, we analyze the roles of partial data disclosure in the channel with asymmetric payoffs by modeling an intermediary which has private access of market information but may either overreport or underreport the market condition to a seller to affect its pricing decision. our results suggest that partial data disclosure may be optimal only when asymmetric payoff structures are present. contrary to conventional wisdom, imperfect communication can lead to increased channel profits relative to full disclosure by mitigating the channel conflicts. this is because strategic communication by intermediaries can induce sellers to lower their prices and thus indirectly improve channel coordination.
