We study the interaction of the effects of the strategic environment and communication on the observed levels of cooperation in two-person finitely repeated games with a Pareto-inefficient Nash equilibrium. We replicate previous findings that point to higher levels of tacit cooperation under...

This paper presents a novel conceptualization of the most common techniques firms use to communicate prices. First, we classify existing price communication techniques based on the type of action taken by firms. We then develop a framework to understand the influence of the different techniques...

We investigate how communication within banks affects small-business lending. Using travel time between a bank's headquarters and its branches to proxy for the costs of communicating soft information, we exploit shocks to these travel times to evaluate the impact of within bank communication...
