We study the impact of communication on behavior in a two-stage coordination game with asymmetric payoffs. We test … sustain coordination over time and alleviate the inequality induced by the asymmetry of payoffs. Third, communication …

Pareto-superior outcomes in classic weak-link coordination games. We show that effects of cohesion are economically large …

classic coordination problem exists. Using a well-established paradigm, we examine how a common cognitive state (insufficient … sleep) impacts coordination outcomes. Our data indicate that insufficient sleep increases coordination failure costs, which …

We examine how pre-play communication and clustering within networks affect coordination in a challenging … outcome in our game, but restricted communication (where subjects can only indicate their intended action) is almost entirely …

Beyond improving coordination, communication increases efficiency by making subjects' play more lenient …Case studies of cartels and recent theory suggest that repeated communication is key for stable cooperation in … environments where signals about others' actions are noisy.
