This paper studies the effect of endogenous group formation on the outcome in two types of coordination games with … more groups within which they want to play the coordination game. In the theoretical part we show that a simple myopic best … reply dynamics under endogenous group formation leads to the payoff dominant outcome in both types of coordination games …

We present an experiment with 825 participants, using six different coordination games, where either …The need for efficient coordination is ubiquitous in organizations and industries. The literature on the determinants … of efficient coordination has focused on individual decision-making so far. In reality, however, teams often have to …

Recent research has shown that women shy away from competition more often than men. We evaluate experimentally three alternative policy interventions to promote women in competitions: Quotas, Preferential Treatment, and Repetition of the Competition unless a critical number of female winners is...
