Communication in the Battle of the Sexes Game: Some Experimental Results
通过实验研究一次性对称性别战博弈中事前沟通的作用，发现沟通显著提高了均衡选择频率，单向沟通最有效解决协调问题，双向沟通中多轮沟通效果更好。
We report experimental results on the role of preplay communication in a one-shot, symmetric battle of the sexes game. We conducted games in which there was no communication, and we studied the effects of three different communication structures: one-way communication with one round of messages and two-way communication with one round as well as three rounds of messages. With these messages, each player could indicate which action he planned to take. Communication significantly increased the frequency of equilibrium play. One-way communication was most effective in resolving the coordination problem. While there was more conflict with two-way communication, one round of communication helped to overcome some of the coordination problems, and three rounds of communication performed even better.
