This paper proposes a new communication protocol in coordination games with binary actions and Pareto-ranked equilibria … the payoff-dominant action in the second period if and only if everyone else waited. That is, efficient coordination is … introduction of the delay option significantly promotes efficient coordination …

round of the game. Beyond improving coordination, communication increases efficiency by making subjects' play more lenient …Case studies of cartels and recent theory suggest that repeated communication is key for stable cooperation in … environments where signals about others' actions are noisy. However, empirically the exact role of communication is not well …

Successful coordination is key for economic and societal wealth. The rich literature on the minimum-effort game (MEG …) has provided valuable insights into coordination, both theoretically and empirically. Yet, although real-world scenarios … often involve asymmetric benefits and/or costs from coordination, most previous studies rely on symmetric MEGs. We …
