This paper characterizes geometrically the set of all Nash equilibrium payoffs achievable with unmediated communication …

networks, such coordination may be very difficult to achieve and may depend on the communication technology and the network … structure. We examine how pre-play communication and clustering within networks affect coordination in a challenging … outcome in our game, but restricted communication (where subjects can only indicate their intended action) is almost entirely …

This paper sheds new light on the role of communication for cartel formation. Using machine learning to evaluate free …-form chat communication among firms in a laboratory experiment, we identify typical communication patterns for both explicit … sanctions on communication reinforces the direct cartel-deterring effect of sanctions as collusion is more difficult to reach …
