Motivated by problems of coordination failure observed in weak-link games, we experimentally investigate behavioral … spillovers for minimum- and median-effort coordination games. Subjects play these coordination games simultaneously and … sequentially. The results show that successful coordination on the Pareto optimal equilibrium in the median game influences …

This experimental study explores how communication influences efficiency, trust and trustworthiness in a small group … when one member is left out of communication. To study this problem, we introduce a novel three-player trust game where … treatment with no communication shows that on average players 1 and 2 send significant amounts and player 3 reciprocates even …
