Abstract
The main result of Morris and Shin (2002)–restated in papers by Amato, Morris, and Shin (2002) and Amato and Shin (2003) and commented upon by the Economist (2004)–has been presented and interpreted as an anti-transparency result: more public information can be bad. However, some scrutiny of the result shows that it is actually pro transparency: except in very special circumstances, more public information is good. Furthermore, for a conservative benchmark of equal precision in public and privateinformation, social welfare is higher than in as ituation without public information.
