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.

However, some have … discussed whether sunspots, e.g., public announcements such as financial market ratings, can create coordination problems. That … forecast, trigger coordination problems? To answer that, we use a repeated three-player stag hunt game with fixed groups. In …
