A NOTE ON THE RELATIONSHIPS AMONG FINENESS, GARBLING, AND SUFFICIENCY FOR THE COMPARISON OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS*
这篇注记解释了信息经济学中比较信息系统的三个标准(精细度、加扰、充分性)之间的关系,并讨论了它们对研究通用性的不同限制,适合研究信息价值或系统选择的学者快速了解。
Choice among competing information systems is an important problem for both the providers and users of information. When the attributes of the decision makers and decision problems for which information is produced are unknown or heterogeneous, it is difficult to choose among alternative information sources. Three criteria for such comparisons of information systems are available in the theory of information economics. These criteria may be distinguished by the differing restrictions that they impose on the generality of the studies in which they are used. This note explicates the relationships among these criteria and discusses the various limitations that they impose on generality.
