DESCRIPTION:Title: Wasonian Persuasion\n\nAuthors: Kfir Eliaz & Ariel Rub
 instein\n\nAbstract: A firm wishes to persuade a patient to take a drug 
 by making either positive statements like “if you take our drug\, you wi
 ll be cured”\, or negative statements like “anyone who was not cured did
  not take our drug”. Patients are neither Bayesian nor strategic: They u
 se a decision procedure based on sampling past cases. We characterize th
 e firm’s optimal statement\, and analyze competition between firms makin
 g either positive statements about themselves or negative statements abo
 ut their rivals. The model highlights that logically equivalent statemen
 ts can differ in effectiveness and identifies circumstances favoring neg
 ative ads over positive ones.\n\nContact: sophie.kreutzkamp@manchester.a
