Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Screening in economics refers to a strategy of combating adverse selection , one of the potential decision making complications in cases of asymmetric information . The concept of screening is first developed by Michael Spence 1973 , and should be distinguished from Signalling economics signalling , which implies that the informed agent moves first. For purposes of screening, asymmetric information cases assume two Agent economics economic agent s&mdash which we call, for example, Abel and Cain&mdash where Abel knows more about himself than Cain knows about Abel. The agents are attempting to engage in some sort of Database transaction transaction , often involving a long term relationship, though that qualifier is not necessary. The screener the one with less information, in this case, Cain attempts to rectify this asymmetry by learning as much as he can about Abel. The actual screening process depends on the nature of the scenario, but is usually closely connected with the future relationship. In education economics , screening models are commonly contrasted with human capital theory. In a screening model used to determine an applicant s ability to learn, giving preference to applicants who have earned academic degrees reduces the employer s risk of hiring someone with a diminished capacity for learning.

A screening game is a two player principal agent problem principal agent type game used in economic and game theory game theoretical modeling. Principal agent problems are situations where there are two players whose interests are not necessarily at ends, but where complete honesty is not optimal for one player. This will lead to strategies where the players exchange information based in their actions which is to some degree noisy. This ambiguity prevents the other player from taking advantage of the first. The game is closely related to signaling games , but there is a difference in how information is exchanged. In the principal agent model, for instance, there is an employer the principal and a worker the agent . The worker has a given skill level, and chooses the amount of effort he will exert. If the worker knows his ability which is given at the outset, perhaps by nature , and can acquire credentials or somehow signal that ability to the employer before being offered a wage, then the problem is signaling. What sets apart a screening game is that the employer offers a wage level first, at which point the worker chooses the amount of credentials he will acquire perhaps in the form of education or skills and accepts or rejects a contract for a wage level. It is called screening, because the worker is screened by the employer in that the offers may be contingent on the skill level of the worker. Some economists use the terms signaling and screening interchangeably, and the distinction can be attributed to Stiglitz and Weiss 1989 .

Traditional amplitude modulation halftone screening is based on a geometric and fixed spacing of dots, which vary in size depending on the tone color represented for example, from 10 to 200 micrometre s .

Today, with CTP during the creation of the plate you just need to check a few parameters on the density and tonal correction curve.
