This work presents experimental results on a coordination game in which agents must repeatedly choose between two sides, and a positive fixed payoff is assigned only to agents who pick the minoritarian side. We conduct laboratory experiments in which stationary groups of five players play the...

In minority games, players in a group must decide at each round which of two available options to choose, knowing that only subjects who picked the minority option obtain a positive reward. Previous experiments on the minority and similar congestion games have shown that players interacting...

Are communication failures common? We revisit classic examples of coordination failure and explore experimentally, in a 2x2 design, the effects of deviation costs and loss aversion. Our results add to our understanding of how to engineer coordination successes in the laboratory
