  • 演講摘要 : This paper introduces a family of definitions of deceptive behavior in Sender-Receiver games. The definitions provide different ways to describe the notion that deceptive behavior misleads the Receiver by inducing inaccurate beliefs. For each definition of deception, I identify a class of preferences under which behavior is deceptive for all preferences in the class if and only if it harms any Receiver with preferences in the class.
