In a coordination game such as the Battle of the Sexes, agents can condition their plays on external signals that can … are rare. Thus, even in a world of simple learning agents, coordination behavior can take on some surprising forms. …

We theoretically and experimentally analyze the role of verifiability and privacy in strategic performance feedback using a “one principal-two agent” context with real effort. We confirm the theoretical prediction that information transmission occurs only in verifiable feedbackmechanisms and...

In the past, many refinements have been proposed to select equilibria in cheap talk games. Usually, these refinements were motivated by a discussion of how rational agents would reason in some particular cheap talk games. In this paper, we propose a new refinement and stability measure that is...

in a cheap-talk game. We find evidence of the “disciplining” effect of public communication as compared to private … strategic thinking when communication is public. Using the level-k model, we exploit the within subject design to show how … individuals decrease their level-k in public communication. Surprisingly, we find that individuals become more sophisticated when …

We studied how communication media affect trust game play. Three popular media were considered: traditional face …-to-face, Facebook groups, and anonymous online chat. We considered post-communication changes in players' expectations and preferences …, and further analyzed the contents of group communications to understand the channels though which communication appears to …

FeedbackWe theoretically and experimentally analyze public and private feedback in teams that are characterized by different performance technologies. We consider a setting where the principal can provide truthful information on agents’ performances or strategically withhold feedback. We find...
