Reacting to ambiguous messages: An experimental analysis
实验发现，语言模糊性对擅长贝叶斯更新的受试者有显著影响，其中模糊厌恶者通过减少模糊性的动机起作用，而模糊中性和厌恶者还存在额外行为渠道。
Ambiguous language is ubiquitous and often deliberate. Recent theoretical work (Bose and Renou, 2014; Kellner and Le Quement, 2018; Beauchêne et al., 2019) has shown how language ambiguation can improve outcomes by mitigating conflict of interest. Our experiment finds a significant effect of language ambiguation on subjects who are proficient at Bayesian updating. For ambiguity averse subjects within this population, a significant part of this effect operates via the channel of subjects' desire to reduce ambiguity. For both ambiguity averse and neutral subjects within this population, an additional behavioral channel is also present.
