This paper investigates communication with multiple, identically informed Senders with a single, uninformed Receiver. Players have common interests, the state space is infinite, and Senders’ message spaces are finite. Thus, while players prefer full information revelation, their language does not allow for it. Efficient communication requires Senders to use language heterogeneously, assigning non-convex meanings to individual messages, while ensuring that message profiles convey convex information.

The instrumental variables (IV) method has been widely studied in cross-sectional settings. However, many practical applications involve panel data, in settings where a unit’s treatment status may turn on or off over time. I show that in the presence of dynamic treatment effects, i.e., if past treatments affect current potential outcomes, standard methods are no longer valid if the instruments are serially correlated.

Do released offenders influence the criminal behavior of individuals in the neighborhoods they rejoin? Using a unique dataset on arrests, prison releases, and places of residence for the universe of men in Ecuador and exploiting a mass pardon in a difference-indifference design, I find evidence that released offenders contribute to increased criminal activity among their neighbors. On average, one additional release leads to an increase of 0.85 arrests, excluding the released offenders themselves.
