We study communication in a two-player coordination game with Pareto-ranked equilibria. Prior research demonstrates … that efficient coordination is difficult without communication but obtains regularly with (mandatory) costless pre …-play messages. In a laboratory experiment, we modify communication by making the sending of messages optional and costly. Even small …

We find that communication and competition act as "substitutes …:" communication raises efficiency in the absence of competition but lowers efficiency with competition, and competition raises …

We design a laboratory experiment to identify causal performance effects of top-down communication between managers and … their subordinates. Our focus lies on communication that resolves uncertainty about the work environment but does not … provide task-specific knowledge. Recent articles in the business press report a lack of such communication in real …
