Reputation and Disclosure in Dynamic Networks

This paper investigates how reputation and information disclosure interact in dynamic networks, focusing on intermediaries with biases and career concerns. It models how these intermediaries choose to disclose information, considering the timing and frequency of disclosure opportunities. The core contribution is understanding how dynamic incentives, driven by reputational stakes, can overcome biases and ensure eventual information transmission. The paper also analyzes network design and formation, providing insights into optimal network structures for information flow.
