Forming and Sharing Norms under the Assumption of `Fundamentally

The role of social norms in information transfer under ‘fundamental ’ imperfect infor-mation is considered. Information about future events, often needed in economic activity, is inevitably imperfect, since there’s no way to check its correctness from our subjective viewpoint. The reason to be able to act well in spite of ‘fundamental ’ imperfect infor-mation is that we have social systems available to process and complement imperfect information. In this article, the problem of transferring information between agents is in-quired with a multi-agent model. The model represents dual subjective interpretations of information by agents, information senders and receivers. Two types of norms emerge in the agents system. One is the norm between senders and receivers, and the other among receivers. The former facilitates the clear communication between senders and receivers. On the other hand, the latter obstructs to form the former norms. The receivers decide their action by referring to others ’ behaviour, so some clusters are formed. It is notable that the relationship between intervals of referring to others ’ behaviour by receivers and the average size of clusters is a power. This means that even if the agents seldom refer to others, there is possibility of clusters emerging. Economic implications of our model and results are discussed
