Andersson, Ola; Wengström, Erik - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Ekonomihögskolan - 2007

It is well known that communication often serves as a facilitator for cooperation in static games. Yet, communication can serve entirely different purposes in dynamic settings as communication during the game may work as a means for renegotiation, potentially undermining the credibility of...
