Case studies of cartels and recent theory suggest that repeated communication is key for stable cooperation in … environments where signals about others' actions are noisy. However, empirically the exact role of communication is not well … understood. We study cooperation under different monitoring and communication structures in the laboratory. Under all monitoring …

Communication has been regarded as one of the most effective devices in promoting team cooperation. But asymmetric … communication sometimes breeds collusion and is detrimental to team efficiency. Here, we present experimental evidence showing that … excluding one member from team communication hurts team cooperation: the communicating partners collude in profit allocation …
