Abstract

Nakata (Theory Decis 71:559–574, 2011 ) presents a model of acquisition of information where the agent does not know what pieces of information she is missing. In this note, we point out some technical problems in a few of Nakata’s results and show how to correct them. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media New York 2015
