Can endogenous group formation prevent coordination failure? A theoretical and experimental investigation
Raab, Philippe - 2005
This paper studies the effect of endogenous group formation on the outcome in two types of coordination games with multiple Pareto-ranked equilibria. Endogenous group formation means that in each period players are free to choose among two or more groups within which they want to play the...

Punishing Free-Riders : How Group Size Affects Mutual Monitoring and the Provision of Public Goods
Carpenter, Jeffrey P. - 2004
Because costly punishment is not credible, subgame perfection suggests that punishment will not deter free riding … strategies seen in the lab and use the simulation to develop hypotheses about why group size should matter when punishment is … rates no lower than small groups because punishment does not fall appreciably in large groups.

Experimental Games on Networks: Underpinnings of Behavior and Equilibrium Selection
Charness, Gary; Feri, Francesco; Meléndez-Jiménez, … - 2014
In this paper, we describe a series of laboratory experiments that implement specific examples of a more general network structure and we examine equilibrium selection. Specifically, actions are either strategic substitutes or strategic complements, and participants have either complete or...

An Experimental Study on the Effects of Communication, Credibility, and Clustering in Network Games
Charness, Gary; Feri, Francesco; Meléndez-Jiménez, … - 2019
The effectiveness of social interaction depends strongly on an ability to coordinate actions efficiently. In large networks, such coordination may be very difficult to achieve and may depend on the communication technology and the network structure. We examine how pre-play communication and...
