On the Role of Information and Strategic Delay in Coordination Games: Theory and Experiment ∗

We investigate the role of information and endogenous timing of decisions on coordination. In a global coordination game, where players choose the timing of their decision, we partially disentangle…

Delay and Learning in Coordination

This paper studies a coordination game with incomplete information and the option to delay. The delay option enables the agents to observe a binary signal depending on whether the early actions…

Communication Via Delay in a Coordination Game

A new communication protocol in coordination games with binary actions and Pareto-ranked equilibria, which comes from an option to delay, and finds that most subjects adopt the unique iteratively undominated strategy, and the introduction of the delay option significantly promotes efficient coordination.

Explorer Reversibility in Dynamic Coordination Problems

Agents at the beginning of a dynamic coordination process (1) are uncertain about actions of their fellow players and (2) anticipate receiving strategically relevant information later on in the…

Reversibility in Dynamic Coordination Problems

Players at the beginning of a dynamic coordination process act as if they were entirely uninformed about aggregate play of fellow players in each stage of the coordination process, based on a generalization of the Laplacian property known from static global games.

Dynamic Coordination Problems

Agents at the beginning of a dynamic coordination process (1) are uncertain about actions of their fellow players and (2) anticipate receiving strategically relevant information later on in the…

Strategic Delay in Global Games

Abstract We study strategic uncertainty in an investment coordination game when players have the option to delay acting. Absent the option to delay, the global games literature shows that efficient…

The Effect of Options on Coordination

In some coordination problems, an agent's payoff depends on what other agents will do in the future. This paper studies how constraints on the timing of actions affect equilbrium in those problems.…

Number 175 Efficient Dynamic Coordination with Individual Learning

We study how the presence of multiple participation opportunities coupled with individual learning about payoffs affects the ability of agents to coordinate efficiently in global coordination games.…

Coordination in a Mobile World

We study coordination failures in many simultaneously occurring coordination problems called projects. Players encounter one of these projects, but have an outside option to search for another of the…

Dynamic Coordiantion Games

Gains from coordination provide incentives for delay. In this paper, the extent of delay is studied in a dynamic, N-person, coordination game. There is no social gain from delay, so an equilibrium…

Fast Equilibrium Selection by Rational Players Living in a Changing World

We study a coordination game with randomly changing payoffs and small frictions in changing actions. Using only backwards induction, we find that players must coordinate on the risk-dominant…

Equilibria in a dynamic global game: the role of cohort effects

The introduction of strategic waiting in a global game setting with irreversible investment is introduced, which allows for cohort effects, which arise endogenously in technology adoption problems with positive contemporaneous network effects.

Information Dynamics and Equilibrium Multiplicity in Global Games of Regime Change

Global games of regime change -- that is, coordination games of incomplete information in which a status quo is abandoned once a sufficiently large fraction of agents attacks it -- have been used to…

Coordination and Policy Traps

This paper examines the ability of a policy maker to control equilibrium outcomes in an environment where market participants play a coordination game with information heterogeneity. We consider…

Dynamic Global Games of Regime Change: Learning, Multiplicity and Timing of Attacks

This work provides a simple recursive algorithm for the characterization of monotone equilibria and shows how the interaction of the knowledge that the regime survived past attacks with the arrival of information over time, or with changes in fundamentals, leads to interesting equilibrium properties.
