NEW PAPER!

Alice knows both X and Y and wants to reveal X to Bob only if he knows Y. If Bob doesn’t know Y, she wants her signal to reveal nothing about X.

When can Alice accomplish this?

Exactly when the matrix of conditional probabilities with entries P( y_j | x_i ) is column-substochastic.

I wrote an intro to the literature on simple mechanisms. Out now in the JEP.

It’s a short (14-page) plain-language summary, designed to get students to the research frontier. 📈📉
