This paper experimentally investigates free-riding behavior on communication cost in a coordination game and finds … strong indications of such free-riding. Firstly, the subjects wait for others to send a message when communication is costly …, which does not happen when communication is costless. Secondly, the proportion of games where no communication or one …

We develop an experiment in which coordination problems are mainly due to finding … collaborate. The results show that as costs of forming links increase, groups succeed less often in solving the coordination …

This paper addresses the role of affect and emotions in shaping the behavior of responders in the ultimatum game. A huge amount of research shows that players do not behave in an economically rational way in the ultimatum game, and emotional mechanisms have been proposed as a possible...

For pure coordination games, the networks co-evolve towards the … polarization of different strategies. In the case of general coordination games our results show that the possibility of refusing …

In this paper, we provide a theoretical prediction of the way in which adaptive players behave in the long run in normal form games with strict Nash equilibria. In the model, each player assigns subjective payoff assessments to his own actions, where the assessment of each action is a weighted...

When groups face difficult problems, the voices of experts may be lost in the noise of others' contributions. We present results from a "naturally noisy" setting, a large first-year undergraduate class, in which the expert's voice was "lost" to such a degree that bringing forward even more...
