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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …
