This paper examines whether and how communication can help groups solve coordination and free-rider problems when they … whether or not to contribute to the group success, within-group cheap talk communication significantly reduces miscoordination … and free-riding. To measure how much miscoordination remains when communication is allowed, we employ a control treatment …

We examine a technology-adoption game with network effects in which coordination on either technology A or technology B … constitutes a Nash equilibrium. Coordination on technology B is assumed to be payoff dominant. We define a technology’s critical …

Motivated by problems of coordination failure observed in weak-link games, we experimentally investigate behavioral … spillovers for minimum- and median-effort coordination games. Subjects play these coordination games simultaneously and … sequentially. The results show that successful coordination on the Pareto optimal equilibrium in the median game influences …
