The differential impact of friendship on cooperative and competitive coordination

Chierchia, Gabriele; Tufano, Fabio; Coricelli, Giorgio - 2020

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.

We present experimental evidence for decision settings where public good providers compete for endogenous donations offered by outside donors. Donors receive benefits from public good provision but cannot provide the good themselves. The performance of three competition mechanisms is examined in...

Communication and Efficiency in Competitive Coordination Games

Costless pre-play communication has been found to effectively facilitate coordination and enhance efficiency in games … with Pareto-ranked equilibria. We report an experiment in which two groups compete in a weakest-link contest by expending … costly efforts. Allowing intra-group communication leads to more aggressive competition and greater coordination than control …

Contests and the Private Provision of Public Goods

Kolmar, Martin; Wagener, Andreas - 2013

The private provision of public goods suffers from two potential types of efficiency failures: non-optimal output levels of the public good (quantity problem) and an inefficient mix of contributors and non-contributors (sorting problem). Embedding the provision game into a contest that rewards...
