SUMMARY:Lunch Seminar: Sergei Severinov - University of British Columbia
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Bilateral Communication and Partnership Formation\nAbstract:\n We consider 
 match formation between two parties, such as marriage, merger or partnershi
 p formation. Each party has private information about the value of the matc
 h, which creates friction in the matching process. We focus on the role of 
 bilateral communication in this setting and investigate how such communicat
 ion should be organized in order to improve the matching process. Different
  communication protocols are considered, and their outcomes are characteriz
 ed. Our main results indicate that a simple communication protocol which in
 volves one round of communication is sufficient, in the sense that the matc
 hing outcome is invariant to length and order of communication. Our analysi
 s also provides a perspective on the role of a neutral mechanism designer o
 r a mediator in this process.\n
