| ''Does a Non-verifiable Imperfect Informative Binary Signal Always a Strictly Positive Value?'' |
| ( 2007, Vol. 10 No.7 ) |
| |
| |
| Owing to the difference between the status quo utility levels of a good agent and a bad agent, we find that a firm adopting a non-verifiable imperfect informative binary signal does not necessarily change its action (on trading off output efficiency against rent extraction). Hence, the signal does not always a strictly positive value for the firm. |
