Preselection and expert advice
"The final authenticated version is available online at https://doi.org/10.1007/s00182-016-0551-9We study the effects of preselection on an expert’s advice about the execution of a
project if its execution yields more precise estimates about the expert’s expertise. The in troduction of a preselection stage, in which the decision maker evaluates the project before
asking for advice, alters the expert’s perception of the problem. We identify conditions
under which preselection occurs in equilibrium. We show that if the expert adjusts his
behavior, the option to preselect may reduce the expected utility of the decision maker.Collaborative Research Center 88
