Information Manipulation, Coordination, and Regime Change

Figure 1. Signal-jamming with linear costs.
Figure 2. Manipulation leads to discrete fall in size of the attack.
Figure 3. Information manipulation is effective when signal precision \(\alpha\) is sufficiently high.
Figure 4. Hidden actions and threshold \(\theta^*\) when regime can control the number of signals.
Figure 5. Hidden actions and regime threshold when there is an opposition.
Figure 6. Information manipulation with informative common priors.
Figure 7. Information manipulation still effective even though citizens have clean information.
Figure 8. Manipulation through idiosyncratic vs. aggregate information.
Figure 9. For fixed signal precision \(\alpha\), regime disadvantaged by higher correlation \(\rho\).
