DESCRIPTION:An information designer has information about consumers’ pre
 ferences over products sold by oligopolists and chooses what information t
 o reveal to firms who\, then\, compete on price by making personalized off
 ers. We study the market out-\ncomes the designer can achieve. The informa
 tion designer is a metaphor for an internet platform which uses data on co

 latforms with\, and speaks directly to current regulatory debates.\n\n\nFu
