Abstract
In this chapter we discuss certain special classes of information structures and prove some results about them. These examples are intended both to illustrate the concept and to prepare for the analysis in later parts of the book, where they will be applied to economic contexts. The reader mainly interested in the economic applications can omit the present chapter (except Secs. 2.1 and 2.2), referring back later when necessary. (Q, E, S) will always denote an information structure with state space E and signal space S.
