The data confirms the theoretical predictions regarding coordination behavior and demonstrates that the proposed … ordinary coordination. Finally, we point to the possibility to use the mechanism as a simple and direct tool to measure the …

This paper provides a formal analysis on the investment coordination problem in a vertically separated electricity … decisions of network and power plants need to be coordinated. In unbundled markets, firm-internal coordination no longer applies …. We develop a formal approach to examine whether sim- ple information exchange ("cheap talk") could restore coordination …

findings corroborate that coordination games are a valid tool to elicit social norm perception on the subject level, as the … individuals' coordination choices are good predictors for their actual behavior. Third, average descriptive norms on the … norms using coordination games is a potentially powerful tool to predict behavior in settings that are otherwise difficult …

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 …

Friendship is commonly assumed to reduce strategic uncertainty and enhance tacit coordination. However, this assumption … has never been tested across two opposite poles of coordination involving either strategic complementarity or … substitutability. We had participants interact with friends or strangers in two classic coordination games: the stag hunt game, which …

However, some have … discussed whether sunspots, e.g., public announcements such as financial market ratings, can create coordination problems. That … forecast, trigger coordination problems? To answer that, we use a repeated three-player stag hunt game with fixed groups. In …
