Achieving perfect coordination amongst agents in the co-action minority game

Rajpal, Hardik; Dhar, Deepak - In: Games 9 (2018) 2/27, pp. 1-13

We discuss the strategy that rational agents can use to maximize their expected long-term payoff in the co-action minority game. We argue that the agents will try to get into a cyclic state, where each of the (2N+1) agents wins exactly N times in any continuous stretch of (2N+1) days. We propose...

Coordination and cooperation problems in network good production

Knigge, Antonie; Buskens, Vincent Willem - In: Games 1 (2010) 3, pp. 357-380

together rather than investing separately. We study the coordination and cooperation problems that might hinder successful … collaboration in a dynamic network setting. 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 …

Coordination, differentiation and fairness in a population of cooperating agents

Do, Anne-ly; Rudolf, Lars; Gross, Thilo - In: Games 3 (2012) 1, pp. 30-40

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...

Competing conventions with costly information acquisition

Rozzi, Roberto - In: Games 12 (2021) 3, pp. 1-29

We consider an evolutionary model of social coordination in a 2 × 2 game where two groups of players prefer to … the cost favor coordination. Indeed, when the cost is low, in inside-group interactions, players always coordinate on …

Against all odds : tentative steps toward efficient information sharing in groups

Schlangenotto, Darius; Schnedler, Wendelin; Vadovič, … - In: Games 11 (2020) 3/31, pp. 1-24

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...

End behavior of the threshold protocol game on complete and bipartite graphs

Fedrigo, Alexandra - In: Games 15 (2024) 6, pp. 1-16

The threshold protocol game is a graphical game that models the adoption of an idea or product through a population. There are two states players may take in the game, and the goal of the game is to motivate the state that begins in the minority to spread to every player. Here, the threshold...
