familiar problem of coordination failure arises giving rise to multiple equilibria; any one of many possible trade agreements …

Tuning one's shower in some hotels may turn into a challenging coordination game with imperfect information. The …

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 different theories of coordination, this paper concludes that all three have relied too heavily on setting long …

Using a laboratory experiment, we examine whether informal monetary sanctions can lead to better coordination in a … repeated minimum effort coordination game.
