讲座内容：

Many studies have shown that people may strategically avoid or ignore costless information to create moral wiggle room and maintain positive social image. In this paper, we explore the possibility that a principal (the King) may deliberately choose “keep me in the dark (KMID)” about his agent’s (the General) opportunistic behavior to avoid punishing her and protect the agent’s social image. Our result shows that around 30% Kings are indeed willing to turn a blind eye to the Generals’ betrayal even without any expectation of doing so may nudge the agent to pay back in the next stage. The fraction increases to more than 50% if the latter can reward the goodwill. Material consequence seems to be a stronger driver of the King’s decision than social image; more than 2/3 of Kings will switch from avoiding the information to receiving the information but pardoning the General if the pardon option is available.
