Bjedov, Tjaša Madiès, Thierry Villeval, Marie Claire 2016 We study the impact of communication on behavior in a two-stage coordination game with asymmetric payoffs. We test experimentally whether individuals can avoid a head-to-head confrontation by means of coordinated strategies. In particular we analyze whether and how quickly a conflict-avoidance take turn strategy can emerge. First, our results show that players learn to solve the conflict by choosing opposite options at both stages of the game. Second, many adopt a take turn strategy to sustain coordination over time and alleviate the inequality induced by the asymmetry of payoffs. Third, communication increases the likelihood of conflict resolution regardless of whether communication is unilateral or bilateral. application/pdf https://folia.unifr.ch/global/documents/309513 https://folia.unifr.ch/documents/309513/files/2016_Bjedov_Communication.pdf eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1111/ecin.12325 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess License undefined Economic Inquiry. - Springer. - 2016, vol. 54, no. 3, p. 1519-1540 Experiment Communication Turn taking Conflict Coordination One-way communication Two-way communication info:eu-repo/classification/udc/33 Communication and Coordination in a Two-Stage Game http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
