Abstract
In the preceding paper Darrough and Stoughton suggest that firm interdependence, modelled as an entry game among firms in a product market, can yield endogenous proprietary costs. This allows the costs associated with the dissemination of information about the firm to depend upon the information's content in some direct way. My comments focus on: first, the structure of the game, which emphasizes the potential for full disclosure; second, the extent to which the entry game exaggerates the usefulness of ‘bad news’; and third, their suggestion that more competition among firms implies more, and not less, disclosure, an observation seemingly contrary to Verrecchia (1983).
