Robust equilibria in cheap-talk games with fairly transparent motives

Theoretical Economics 2024-03-18 v2

Abstract

For cheap-talk games with a binary state space in which the sender has state-independent preferences, we characterize equilibria that are robust to introducing slight state-dependence on the side of the sender. Not all equilibria are robust, but the sender-optimum is always achieved at some robust equilibrium.
