This paper investigates how different message structures impact communication strategy as well as sender and receiver … behavior. Specifically, we focus on comparing communication games with messages stating an intention versus a request. Our …

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 …

We examine communication in a 2-player sequential public good game in which the leader has private information about … deciding whether or not to contribute. Without communication, the unique equilibrium is fully efficient. We study whether the … introduction of communication about returns can destroy efficiency. Communication can be precise (about the exact return), or vague …

We examine 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 … costs, explicit communication may be unnecessary for efficient coordination; instead, players simply need to know that the …

One-way communication weakly increases coordination on Nash equilibrium outcomes, although average payoffs sometimes … of symmetric 2×2 games, we find that communication facilitates coordination in common interest games with positive … spillovers and strategic complementarities, but there are also games in which any type of communication hampers coordination …
