Abstract
This paper applies mechanism design to conflict resolution. We determine when and how unmediated communication and mediation reduce the ex ante probability of conflict in a game with asymmetric information. Mediation improves upon unmediated communication when the intensity of conflict is high, or when asymmetric
information is significant. The mediator improves upon unmediated communication by not precisely reporting information to conflicting parties, and precisely, by not
revealing to a player with probability one that the opponent is weak. Arbitrators
who can enforce settlements are no more effective than mediators who only make
non-binding recommendations.
