The hazards and benefits of condescension in social learning
研究了在社会学习情境中，当代理人低估同伴信息质量（即居高临下）时，适度居高临下能改善结果，但过度或反向则导致更差结果。
In a misspecified social learning setting, agents are condescending if they perceive their peers as having private information that is of lower quality than it is in reality. Applying this to a standard sequential model, we show that outcomes improve when agents are mildly condescending. In contrast, too much condescension leads to worse outcomes, as does anti‐condescension.
