Публикация Алексея Смирнова в American Economic Journal: Microeconomics

От всей души поздравляем доцента департамента теоретической экономики, Ph.D, Алексея Смирнова с публикацией в международном реферируемом журнале "American Economic Journal: Microeconomics" статьи "Bad News Turned Good: Reversal under Censorship"

Аннотация статьи:
Sellers often have the power to censor the reviews of their products. We explore the effect of these censorship policies in markets where some consumers are unaware of possible censorship. We find that if the share of such "naive" consumers is not too large, then rational consumers treat any bad review that is revealed in equilibrium as good news about product quality. This makes bad reviews worth revealing and allows the seller to use them to signal his product's quality to rational consumers.
