Abstract

We study information design for network routing games in the presence of vagaries. We prove strong competitive bounds for various information provision policies, in the spirit of Roughgarden's Price of Anarchy (PoA). In contrast with the classical framework, we show that the PoA may cease to be bounded in the presence of vagaries, unless information is provided to the decision-makers. We also investigate randomized public signaling policies and personalized recommendation, beyond no-and full-information revelation.
