Consider a mechanism design setting in which agents acquire costly informa-tion about an unknown, payoff-relevant state of nature. Information gathering is covert. We investigate conditions under which (i) efficient implementation and (ii) full surplus extraction are Bayesian incentive compatible and interim individually rational. JEL Classification: D44, D8
