In a recent paper, it is claimed that this so-called standardization problem is an NP-hard optimization problem. We … will demonstrate that this is not true, but in fact the standardization problem can be solved in polynomial time by solving …

Using a laboratory experiment, we examine whether informal monetary sanctions can lead to better coordination in a … repeated minimum effort coordination game. While most groups first experience inefficient coordination, the efficiency … efficiency. This suggests that decentralized monetary sanctions can play a major role as a coordination device in Pareto …
