    This paper studies the optimal disclosure of information about an agent's talent when it consists of two components. The agent observes the first component of his talent as his private type, and reports it to a principal to perform a task which reveals the second component of his talent. Based on the report and performance, the principal discloses information to a firm who pays the agent the wage equal to his expected talent. We study incentive compatible disclosure rules that minimize the mismatch between the agent's true talent and his wage. The optimal rule entails full disclosure when the agent's talent is a supermodular function of the two com- ponents, but entails partial pooling when it is submodular. Under a mild degree of submodularity, we show that the optimal disclosure rule is obtained as a solution to a linear programming problem, and identify the number of messages required under the optimal rule. We relate it to the agent's incentive compatibility conditions, and show that each pooling message has binary support.

  2. Causal mechanism and explanation in social science
    Author: Mayntz, Renate
    Published: April 2020
    Publisher:  Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies, Cologne, Germany

    In the social sciences, the development of a specific social event or structure is often explained by a statistical correlation between an independent variable and a variable assumed to be dependent upon it. This mode of explanation is contested by a... more

    In the social sciences, the development of a specific social event or structure is often explained by a statistical correlation between an independent variable and a variable assumed to be dependent upon it. This mode of explanation is contested by a methodology of causal reconstruction that operates with the concept of mechanisms. A mechanism is a process in which a set of linked steps leads from initial conditions to an outcome or effect. Mechanisms are general concepts, subjecting individual cases to a general category. Except for the literature dealing specifically with the concept, the term “mechanism” is often used without definition of its substantive content; there is no agreement with respect to the unique or plural character of the initial conditions, nor to the structure of the causal path leading to a specific outcome. Nevertheless, mechanisms have played a crucial role in detailed causal analysis of complex historical events, such as the financial crisis of 2008 and German unification of 1989. Das Zustandekommen eines sozialen Phänomens wird häufig durch eine statistische Korrelation zwischen einer unabhängigen und einer vermutlich davon abhängigen Variable erklärt. Demgegenüber verlangt die mit dem Begriff von Mechanismen operierende kausale Rekonstruktion eine Erklärung durch einen Prozess, in dem eine Reihe verbundener Schritte von spezifischen Ausgangsbedingungen zu einem Ergebnis führt. Mechanismen sind Allgemeinbegriffe, denen konkrete Einzelfälle zugeordnet werden. Abgesehen von einer Literatur, die sich ausdrücklich mit dem Konzept beschäftigt, wird der Begriff Mechanismus oft ohne Hinweis auf seinen Inhalt benutzt; dazu gehört die einfache oder plurale Natur der Anfangsbedingungen oder die Struktur des zum Ergebnis führenden kausalen Pfades. Trotzdem spielen als Mechanismen bezeichnete Prozesse eine wichtige Rolle bei der Erklärung komplexer historischer Ereignisse wie der Finanzkrise von 2008 und der deutschen Vereinigung von 1989.
