COMMUNICATION AND COORDINATION IN A TWO‐STAGE GAME
通过实验研究两阶段不对称收益协调博弈中沟通对行为的影响，发现沟通能促进轮流策略的形成，从而避免冲突并缓解收益不平等。
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.
