Information transmission and voting

Economic Theory, 2019
I analyze an individual’s incentive to disclose hard evidence in the context of committee voting. A committee consists of three members: one left-leaning, one right-leaning, and the third ex ante unbiased. They decide on whether to pursue a left or right policy by majority rule.

Information transmission and redundancy

Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics, 2012
We consider a noisy communication channel in which discrete messages are transmitted by redundant digital signals. It is shown that the probability of true hypotheses can be arbitrarily close to unity if optimal coding is used and the signal-to-noise ratio exceeds the threshold value.

Strategic Transmission of Costly Information

Econometrica, 1994
IT IS OFrEN THE CASE that an individual's decision is at least partly based on information received from another. And when the agents' payoffs depend on both the former's decision and on the latter's information, there is an incentive for the informed individual to attempt to bias the decision maker's decision in his or her favor by strategically ...

Neural information transmission

1976
The long term evolutionary systems of genetic information transmission considered in the last chapter have culminated in the development of internal communication systems which animals can use for short term adaptation to their environments. Even the most primitive nervous system is a remarkably complex network of specialized cells, called neurons.

Internal Transmission of Information

2003
Most biological processes require the coordination of activities at multiple locations. Thus, the activity of an individual cell usually occurs in coordination with the activity of other cells and larger assemblages of cells generally require compensation or support from other multicellular structures. This type of interrelated activity requires either

Optimal Information Transmission [PDF]

, 2015
This paper addresses the issue of how a given piece of information should be transmitted from a better-informed doctor to an ill-informed patient. The information to be transmitted is expressed as a probability distribution on a space of the patient’s possible health states.

Information Transmission Technologies

2014
Distortion and noise are two major subjects in information transmission research. Essential requirements for a transmission system are low distortion caused by signal transmission and low additional noise as much as possible, which are the major measurement factors for channel performance.

Genetic information transmission

1976
In the last chapter we were primarily concerned with the role of genetic information in the day-to-day life of the cell. We noted in passing that mitosis transmits the cell’s entire complement of genetic information to the new generation of cells. In this chapter we examine more closely this transmission of genetic information to subsequent generations.

Transmission of Information by Coincidence

1982
In the previous chapters we reached the following conclusions: Each nerve cell receives from and gives contacts to many neurons. Even cells which are close together usually recieve different sources of excitation and inhibition, both when the spontaneous and when the sensory evoked activities are considered.
