Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
I study a model of Bayesian persuasion involving a benevolent sender with commitment power and a mass of receivers whose strategic behaviour is underpinned by a model of culture as shared cognition to investigate how communication varies as a function of culture. Receivers resolve strategic uncertainty in a pure coordination game by reasoning about others in introspective equilibrium (Kets and Sandroni, 2021). In the baseline model where all receivers belong to a single cultural group, I characterise the sender’s optimal information structure and find that social welfare with information is piecewise over three intervals and non-monotone in cultural strength when the receivers are suciently pessimistic. This is due to conflicting coordination and persuasion e↵ects: stronger cultures coordinate better, but force the sender to persuade them with bad news more frequently. I then investigate the implications of two cultural groups for Bayesian persuasion. Under this framework, I first investigate public persuasion and show that the sender’s optimal information structure depends on the cultural distance between the two groups. I then consider targeted persuasion, where one or both cultural groups receive information without knowing the other group’s. In this scenario, it is sometimes better for the sender to target a single group: the sender increases the strategic uncertainty faced by receivers who do not have information, which improves social welfare by making them more likely to choose the high action.
