We identify conditions under which (1) players can fully communicate and coordinate on efficient Nash equilibria of the underlying complete information game; and (2) players cannot communicate so cheap-talk does not alter the equilibrium set of the Bayesian game. We present examples that illustrate several issues that arise when there is two-sided incomplete information.}, year = {2002}, journal = {Journal of Economic Theory}, volume = {105}, pages = { - 468}, month = {August 2002}, isbn = {0022-0531, 0022-0531}, url = {https://search.proquest.com/docview/56049463?accountid=13314}, note = {plain_text}, language = {eng}, }
