This paper experimentally investigates free-riding behavior on communication cost in a coordination game and finds … strong indications of such free-riding. Firstly, the subjects wait for others to send a message when communication is costly …, which does not happen when communication is costless. Secondly, the proportion of games where no communication or one …

In this paper we investigate the impact of introducing … communication in groups that may or may not be linked to output sharing groups. Communication reduces shirking, increases aggregate … effort and reduces aggregate rents, but only when communication groups and output-sharing groups are linked. The effect is …

Using experimental methods, this paper investigates the limits of communication and leadership in aiding group … coordination in a minimum effort game. Choosing the highest effort is the payoff dominant Nash equilibrium in this game, and … communication and leadership are expected to help in coordinating on such an equilibrium. We consider an environment in which the …

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. Consistent with the introspective character of GW-FI, the fraction of players who achieve efficient coordination by …
