. However, this has never been tested on two "opposite poles" of coordination, namely, games of strategic complements and …. Friendship thus appears to have a very different impact on coordination games involving strategic complements and substitutes. We …

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 had participants interact with friends or strangers in two classic coordination games: the stag hunt game, which …

multiple M equilibria exhibit coordination problems that could not be anticipated through the lens of existing models …

Considering a pure coordination game with a large number of equivalent equilibria, we argue, first, that a focal point … two new roles of focal points as coordination devices …

We run a laboratory experiment with a two-person game with unique pure Nash equilibrium which is also the solution of …

conventional coordination, where subjects bet on only one alternative, subjects coordinate by the distribution of points. This … experiment on the elicitation of social norms (Krupka and Weber, 2013), we compare the proposed mechanism with conventional … coordination. The data confirms the theoretical predictions regarding coordination behavior and demonstrates that the proposed …

Social norms of cooperation are studied under several forms of communication. In an experiment, strangers could make …

Successful coordination is key for economic and societal wealth. The rich literature on the minimum-effort game (MEG …) has provided valuable insights into coordination, both theoretically and empirically. Yet, although real-world scenarios … often involve asymmetric benefits and/or costs from coordination, most previous studies rely on symmetric MEGs. We …
