The paper analyzes the role of the structure of communication - i.e. who is talking with whom - on the choice of … messages, on their credibility and on actual play. We run an experiment in a three-player coordination game with Pareto ranked … analysis of credibility, the subjects should communicate and play the Pareto optimal equilibrium only when communication is …

obligatory. We compare coordination failure with efficient rationing as well as with compulsory serving of demand, and … losses. Our experimental results show that (possible) coordination failure affects behavior through two channels: via … anticipating losses but decrease after experiencing losses. Coordination failures are more probable after subjects experienced a …

Costless and non-binding pre-play communication (cheap talk) has been found to often be effective in achieving … uncertainty in the framework of a 2x2 coordination game, in which one choice leads to the same payoff regardless of the action of … the other person's play. Cheap talk is found to be effective, as there is much more coordination in both Signal treatments …

We study the impact of communication on behavior in a two-stage coordination game with asymmetric payoffs. We test … sustain coordination over time and alleviate the inequality induced by the asymmetry of payoffs. Third, communication …

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 … communication.
