Coordination games with Pareto-ranked equilibria have attracted major theoretical attention over the past two decades …. Two early path-breaking sets of experimental studies were widely interpreted as suggesting that coordination failure is a …, of coordination failure in the lab and review critically the existing experimental studies on coordination games with …

We compare coordination success of individuals and teams in the minimum effort coordination game. The game is played by …. But with random re-matching, teams experience pervasive coordination failures. A public recommendation to a strategy or a … performance bonus exhorting players to coordinate to the payoff-dominant equilibrium has similar impact on coordination for both …

Are communication failures common? We revisit a classic example of experimental coordination failure and explore, in a … 2x2 design, the effects of deviation costs and loss avoidance. Our results suggest how to engineer coordination …
