2 Motivation Many instances in the service economy where users payoff from using the service depends on the state of the system. - congestion, resource availability, waiting times, etc.
3 Motivation Many instances in the service economy where users payoff from using the service depends on the state of the system. - congestion, resource availability, waiting times, etc. Typically, such system states are unknown to the user, but the system operator is better informed.
4 Motivation Many instances in the service economy where users payoff from using the service depends on the state of the system. - congestion, resource availability, waiting times, etc. Typically, such system states are unknown to the user, but the system operator is better informed. Due to this informational asymmetry, the system operator may share information with its users.
5 Motivation Many instances in the service economy where users payoff from using the service depends on the state of the system. - congestion, resource availability, waiting times, etc. Typically, such system states are unknown to the user, but the system operator is better informed. Due to this informational asymmetry, the system operator may share information with its users. Information design: How should an operator share information with potential users to influence their behavior?

18 Model
19 Model: Queue Customers arrive according to a Poisson process with rate λ. The queue is unobservable to arriving customers who must choose whether to join the queue upon arrival.
20 Model: Queue Customers arrive according to a Poisson process with rate λ. The queue is unobservable to arriving customers who must choose whether to join the queue upon arrival. Joining customers pay price p 0 and wait in a FIFO queue to obtain service from a single server. Service time is exponentially distributed with mean 1.
21 Model: Customers Customers are homogeneous, delay sensitive, and Bayesian.
22 Model: Customers Customers are homogeneous, delay sensitive, and Bayesian. Customers who do not join the queue receive zero utility.
23 Model: Customers Customers are homogeneous, delay sensitive, and Bayesian. Customers who do not join the queue receive zero utility. When the queue has length X, joining customers have expected utility h(x, p) = u(x) p, u(x) is the expected utility the customer gets from the service, p is the fixed price for the service.
24 Model: Assumptions u(x) x Customers don t enjoy waiting. u( ) non-increasing.... would join an empty queue. u(0) p 0... would not join long queues. M p s.t. u(m p ) p < 0.
25 Model: Customers Customers are homogeneous, delay sensitive, and Bayesian. Customers who do not join the queue receive zero utility. When the queue has length X, joining customers have expected utility h(x, p) = u(x) p, u(x) is the expected utility the customer gets from the service, p is the fixed price for the service.
26 Model: Customers Customers are homogeneous, delay sensitive, and Bayesian. Customers who do not join the queue receive zero utility. When the queue has length X, joining customers have expected utility h(x, p) = u(x) p, u(x) is the expected utility the customer gets from the service, p is the fixed price for the service. Queue length X is unknown: customers maintain beliefs, and maximize expected utility.

34 Equilibrium
35 Equilibrium Each signaling mechanism induces an equilibrium among the customers: 1. Optimality: Given her prior belief (about queue state) and other customers strategies, each customer acts optimally. 2. Consistency: A customer s prior belief is consistent with the queue dynamics induced by the strategies.
36 Equilibrium Each signaling mechanism induces an equilibrium among the customers: 1. Optimality: Given her prior belief (about queue state) and other customers strategies, each customer acts optimally. 2. Consistency: A customer s prior belief is consistent with the queue dynamics induced by the strategies. Bayesian Persuasion in Dynamic Setting The choice of the signaling mechanism affects not only what information a customer receives, but also her prior belief.
37 Dynamics A customer strategy is a function f : S [0, 1] such that given a signal s, a customer joins with probability f(s).

Let π denote its steady state distribution and X π.
41 Customer equilibrium A symmetric equilibrium among customers is a strategy f that maximizes a customer s expected utility (under steady state) assuming all other customers follow f: f(s) = { 1 if E[h(X, p) s] > 0; 0 if E[h(X, p) s] < 0.

43 Service provider s goal The service provider s revenue is given by R(σ, f, p) = p 1 (1 π 0 ) = p π i. i= Full No-Info Full No-Info Revenue 0.15 Revenue λ (a) c = 0.2 and p = c (b) λ = 0.7 and p = 0.3. u(x) = 1 c (X + 1)
44 Service provider s goal The service provider s revenue is given by R(σ, f, p) = p 1 (1 π 0 ) = p π i. i=1 Problem: Optimal Signaling and Pricing How should a service provider choose a price p and a signaling mechanism (S, σ) to maximize her expected revenue R(σ, f, p) in the resulting equilibrium?

Benchmark: Optimal state-dependent prices in a fully-observable queue. [Naor, 1969, Edelson and Hilderbrand, 1975, Chen and Frank, 2001].

Question How does our revenue compare with that of the optimal state-dependent pricing mechanism?
79 Optimal revenue Theorem Revenue under optimal signaling = Revenue under optimal state dependent prices.
80 Optimal revenue Theorem Revenue under optimal signaling = Revenue under optimal state dependent prices. Proof: Under optimal state-dependent prices, the expected revenue is E [I{X < k}u(x )].
81 Optimal revenue Theorem Revenue under optimal signaling = Revenue under optimal state dependent prices. Proof: Under optimal state-dependent prices, the expected revenue is E [I{X < k}u(x )]. We show that the signaling mechanism with threshold equal to cutoff k, and with fixed price achieves the same revenue. p = E [u(x ) X < k]

90 Heterogeneous customers Suppose customers come from one of K types. Type i customers arrive at rate λ i, are charged p i, and have utility h i (n, p i ) = u i (n) p i. Theorem If all customers types pay the same price, there exists an optimal signaling mechanism with a threshold structure.
91 Heterogeneous customers Suppose customers come from one of K types. Type i customers arrive at rate λ i, are charged p i, and have utility h i (n, p i ) = u i (n) p i. Theorem If all customers types pay the same price, there exists an optimal signaling mechanism with a threshold structure. Remark: When prices are different for different types, the optimal signaling mechanism need not have threshold structure.

107 Exact Thresholds Suppose u(n) = 1 c(n + 1) with c (0, 1). Then, for each p [0, 1 c], the threshold mechanism σ x is optimal for x = N + q, where 2(1 p) c 1 if λ = 1; N = if λ 1 c 1 log(λ) (W i ( κe κ ) + κ) otherwise, with κ = when 1 ( 1 p c 1 1 λ c 1 p 1 p ; ) log(λ) and where i = 0 when λ > 1 and i = 1 < λ < 1. For all values of λ <, we have q k<n = λk (1 p c(k + 1)) λ N (c(n. + 1) + p 1)
