Games with multiple Nash equilibria are believed to be easier to play if players can communicate. We present a simple model of communication in games and investigate the importance of when communication takes place. Sending a message before play captures talk about intentions, after play...

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 …

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 …

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 …

Social life offers innumerable instances in which trust relations involve multiple agents. In an experiment, we study a new setting called Collective Trust Game where there are multiple trustees, who may have an incentive to coordinate their actions. Trustworthiness has also a strategic...
