Topic: Endogenous Group Formation and Monitoring

Speaker: ZHANG Hu

Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the issue of endogenous group formation by considering the information transmission efficiency. With three examples, we show that the optimal group structure should minimize the distortion induced by information imperfection. By peer monitoring with joint liability, players would have incentive to disclose miscreant actions they observed. As a result, private information is transformed into public information which helps forming efficient equilibrium.
