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 …

This paper describes an experiment to explore how …Precedents can facilitate successful coordination within groups by reducing strategic uncertainty, but they may lead to … such coordination failure can be mitigated and whether subjects are aware of it. In an initial phase, groups were able to …
