Abstract

In their analysis of strategic information transmission, Vincent Crawford and Joel Sobel (1982) showed the existance of partition equilibria (Theorem 1). Although the theorem itself is correct, the proof contains some incorrect statements. We present a counter-example and provide a correct version of the proof.
