Description

Manipulating 'we' - Common and individual interests in coordination games with focal points

The literature has established that behaviour in pure coordination games can be better explained by team reasoning and behaviour in asymmetric coordination games can be better explained by level-k reasoning. We investigate whether particular decompositions of battle of the sexes games can influence modes of reasoning and ultimately influence coordination rates. A variety of results give support to this expectation as we observe both positive and negative influences on coordination rates in specific game sequences.
