i.p.directly, and assume that they can monitor the i.p.to learn if the i.p.has invested in information production.The monitoring is noisy and it says that the i.p.produced information with probability 0.6 and did not produce information with probability 04.If the i.p.did not produce information, the signal says that he did with probability 0.5, and that he did not with probability 0.5.Suppose the asset owners tell the i.p.that they will pay $H if the i.p.produced information and $L if he did not.
