Haan, Thomas de; Offerman, Theo; Sloof, Randolph - Tinbergen Instituut - 2011
We experimentally study the strategic transmission of information in a setting where both cheap talk and money can be used for communication purposes. Theoretically a large number of equilibria exist side by side, in which senders either use costless messages, money, or a combination of the two....
