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 …

will reject a low offer, it remains an open question whether anticipated verbal communication can be effective in … the form of anticipated verbal communication (no communication, one-sided communication from proposers and two …-sided communication) and find that offers are significantly higher in the presence of anticipated two-sided communication. However …

This paper deals with the effects of different modes of communication in a costless information transmission … having two senders and one receiver. The communication of senders is simultaneous in the first, sequential in the second and … one sender becomes insignificant in our two-sender model regardless of the mode of communication. However, as to the …

Intuitively, we expect that players who are allowed to engage in costless communication before playing a game would be … communication has been suggested as a rationale for expecting Nash equilibria in general. This paper presents a plausible formal … environment, it is shown that meaningful communication among players leads to a Nash equilibrium (NE) of the action game. Within …

We studied how communication media affect trust game play. Three popular media were considered: traditional face …-to-face, Facebook groups, and anonymous online chat. We considered post-communication changes in players' expectations and preferences …, and further analyzed the contents of group communications to understand the channels though which communication appears to …

I experimentally investigate how vague language changes the nature of communication in a biased strategic information … model showing that vague messages increase communication between boundedly rational players, especially if some senders are …
