A monopolist sells a good whose value depends on the number of buyers who adopt it as well as on their private types. The seller coordinates the buyersʼ adoption decisions based on their reported types, and charges them the price based on the number of adoptions. We study ex post implementable...

This paper takes the idea of coalitional behavior – groups of people occasionally acting together to their mutual benefit – and incorporates it into the framework of evolutionary game theory that underpins the social learning literature. An equilibrium selection criterion is defined which we...

This paper investigates the role of endogenous timing of decisions on coordination under asymmetric information. In the … equilibrium of a global coordination game, where players choose the timing of their decision, a player who has sufficiently high … coordination: a learning effect (early decisions reveal information) and a complementarity effect (early decisions eliminate …

Costless pre-play communication has been found to effectively facilitate coordination and enhance efficiency in games … costly efforts. Allowing intra-group communication leads to more aggressive competition and greater coordination than control … experimental findings from public goods and other coordination games, where communication always enhances efficiency and often …

Correlation of players' actions may evolve in the common course of the play of a repeated game with perfect monitoring (“online correlation”). In this paper we study the concealment of such correlation from a boundedly rational player. We show that “strong” players, i.e., players whose...

In repeated games, subgame perfection requires all continuation strategy profiles must be effective to enforce the equilibrium; they serve as punishments should deviations occur. It does not require whether a punishment can be justified for the deviation, which creates a great deal of freedom in...

In many economic contexts, an elusive variable of interest is the agent's belief about relevant events, e.g. about other agents' behavior. A growing number of surveys and experiments asks participants to state beliefs explicitly but little is known about the causal relation between beliefs and...
