, communication possibilities increase coordination success substantially and are likely to generate inferior outcomes for consumers …This paper explores experimentally the effects of costly communication possibilities in market entry games. It is shown …. Furthermore, cost asymmetries provide a tacit coordination cue that is robust to changes in the game and is used by experienced …
