Our lab-in-the-field experiment studies how information about high or low levels of previous … provision of social information succeeds in creating norms of cooperation only if a feedback mechanism is available.

Social norms of cooperation are studied under several forms of communication. In an experiment, strangers could make … equilibria. Communication could be used as a tool to either signal intentions to coordinate on Pareto-superior outcomes, to … deceive others, or to credibly commit to actions. Some forms of communication did not promote the incidence of efficient Nash …
