We study experimentally a class of pure coordination games as a special case of the Consumer Choice of Prizes game … developed by Rapoport et al. (2000). We find a high level of group coordination coupled with considerable switching in the …

We consider an experiment with a version of the Battle of the Sexes game with two-sided private information, preceded … information and subsequent payoffs from the game. We find that the players are overall truthful about their types in the cheap-talk … phase in both one-way and two-way talk. Furthermore, the unique symmetric cheap-talk equilibrium in the two-way cheap talk …

interdependence because information about each state affects both decisions. Senders are imperfectly informed and communication … one of the states. I show that communication depends on how the interdependence aggregates decision-specific biases. This … aggregation can lead to positive or negative informational spillovers, which affect communication incentives. Secondly, I analyse …

The paper studies a dynamic communication game in the presence of adverse selection and career concerns. A forecaster …

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 …

This paper describes an experiment to explore how … solve coordination problems from past coordination success or failure. -- coordination ; precedent ; costly communication …Precedents can facilitate successful coordination within groups by reducing strategic uncertainty, but they may lead to …

We study experimentally the effectiveness of communication in common value committees exhibiting publicly known … heterogeneous agents. These predict varying degrees of strategic communication. We use a 2 x 2 design varying the information … protocol (communication vs exogenous public signals) and the group composition (heterogeneous vs homogeneous). Results are only …
