coordination is difficult without a communication option but obtains regularly with mandatory costless pre-play messages. We find … coordination can occur with similar frequency as under costless communication. These findings can be accounted for by …We experimentally study optional costly communication in Stag-Hunt games. Prior research demonstrates that efficient …
