Alessandro Ispano - Good cop-bad cop: delegating interrogations

Meeting Room 1, San Giobbe Economics Campus

Alessandro Ispano (CY Cergy Paris Université) - Good cop-bad cop: delegating interrogations

Abstract: A decision-maker who aims to find out the truth from a suspect delegates to an interrogator with possibly different preferences. The ideal interrogator is always biased, sometimes nicer and sometimes tougher. The decision-maker can further improve by delegating to a nicer interrogator when the evidence is weak and to a tougher interrogator when the evidence is strong. Provided the decision-maker does not learn the details of the interrogation, she may then equivalently retain authority over decisions. Sequential delegation can credibly convey information about the evidence and implement the optimal mechanism with full commitment.
