This paper presents some experimental results that focus on players? coordination on Pareto-optimal issues of the investment game. These results show the importance of communication of intentions as a mean to realize such a coordination in different contexts (simultaneous or sequential game,...

We provide experimental evidence of workers' ingratiation by opinion conformity and of managers' discrimination in favor of workers with whom they share similar opinions. In our Baseline, managers can observe both workers' performance at a task and opinions before assigning unequal payoffs. In...

We investigate experimentally ingratiatory behavior expressed by opinion conformity. Both individuals' performance at a task and their opinions on various topics can be observed before unequal payoffs are assigned by a second mover. In some treatments, first movers can change their opinion after...
