  • When to Drop a Bombshell
    Review of Economic Studies (2017) 01, 1–35 0034-6527/17/00000001$02.00 c 2017 The Review of Economic Studies Limited When to Drop a Bombshell GABRIELE GRATTON UNSW Business School RICHARD HOLDEN UNSW Business School ANTON KOLOTILIN UNSW Business School First version received September 2016; final version accepted November 2017 (Eds.) Sender, who is either good or bad, wishes to look good at an exogenous deadline. Sender privately observes if and when she can release a public flow of information about her private type. Releasing information earlier exposes to greater scrutiny, but signals credibility. In equilibrium bad Sender releases information later than good Sender. We find empirical support for the dynamic predictions of our model using data on the timing of US presidential scandals and US initial public offerings. In the context of elections, our results suggest that October Surprises are driven by the strategic behavior of bad Sender. Keywords: Information disclosure, Strategic timing, Bayesian learning, Credibility vs. scrutiny JEL Codes: D72, D82, D83, L82 1. INTRODUCTION Election campaigns consist of promises, allegations, and scandals. While most of them are inconsequential, some are pivotal events that can sway elections. Rather than settling existing issues, these bombshells typically start new debates that, in time, provide voters with new information. When bombshells are dropped, their timing is hotly debated. Was the bombshell intentionally timed to sway the election? What else did media and politicians know, when they dropped the bombshell, that voters might only discover after the election? The 2016 US presidential campaign between Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump provides several examples.

  • Lynn Goldsmith, Corbis Media
    Lynn Goldsmith, Corbis Media Where Have You Gone, Roseanne Barr? The media rarely portray women as they really are, as everyday breadwinners and caregivers By Susan J. Douglas t’s October 2009, and after a hard day at work—or no day of work since you’ve been laid off—and maybe tending to children or aging parents as well, you click Ion the remote. On any given evening, in fictional television, you will see female police chiefs, surgeons, detectives, district attorneys, partners in law firms and, on “24,” a female president of the United States. Reality TV offers up the privileged “real” housewives of New York, Atlanta, and New Jersey, all of whom devote their time to shopping or taking their daughters to acting coaches. Earlier in the evening, the nightly news programs, and the cable channels as well, feature this odd mix: highly paid and typically very attractive women as reporters (and on CBS, even as the anchor) and, yet, minimal coverage of women and the issues affecting them. Many of us, especially those who grew up with “Leave It to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best,” are delighted to see “The Closer” (Kyra Sedgwick) as an accom- plished boss and crime solver, Dr. Bailey (Chandra Wilson) as the take-no-pris- oners surgeon on “Grey’s Anatomy,” and Shirley Schmidt (Candice Bergen) as a no-nonsense senior partner on reruns of “Boston Legal.” Finally, women at or near the top, holding jobs previously reserved for men, and doing so successfully! But wait. What’s wrong with these fantasy portraits of power? And what are the consequences of

Schultz, Ph.D. ______________________________ Patricia Wittberg, Ph.D. ii Acknowledgments A community has supported me in seeing this project to fruition, and it is a great pleasure to thank one and all. My thesis committee of gifted scholars generously devoted their time and talent. My chair, Nancy Robertson, stood by my side every step of the way, and always knew when to challenge me and when to nurture me. She patiently answered my endless questions, from mundane matters of punctuation to significant goals of publication. Nancy inspired me to think big, yet reined me in when I reached too far. Jane Schultz embraced this project wholeheartedly from the beginning, and confidently assured me I could find something new to say and make a contribution to knowledge. Pat Wittberg worked with me to achieve excellence, and reviewed drafts even while she was on sabbatical. Additional Indiana University Purdue University - Indianapolis faculty supported me in a multitude of ways. Dwight Burlingame and Leslie Lenkowsky at the Center on Philanthropy vetted my choice of thesis topic and encouraged me along the way.
