benefit from coordination (or centralization) of search activities. We test the conjecture that agents gain from coordination … with a between-subject design in two treatments. In the experiments we find no gains from coordination. Instead, we find …

We study communication in a two-player coordination game with Pareto-ranked equilibria. Prior research demonstrates … that efficient coordination is difficult without communication but obtains regularly with (mandatory) costless pre …-play messages. In a laboratory experiment, we modify communication by making the sending of messages optional and costly. Even small …

coordination is difficult without a communication option but obtains regularly with mandatory costless pre-play messages. We find … coordination can occur with similar frequency as under costless communication. These findings can be accounted for by …

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

coordination game with multiple Pareto-ranked Nash equilibria. Because the more efficient equilibria involve a degree of strategic … results suggest that leadership does indeed increase coordination and efficiency. In particular, with leadership we typically …

examines two examples, both of which involve the theory of coordination games: 1) the location of markets inside EverQuest, and … 2) the selection of battlefields inside Dark Age of Camelot. Coordination game theory is quite important to a number of …
