Information revelation and coordination using cheap talk in a game with two-sided private information

Abstract We consider a version of the Battle Sexes with private information and allow cheap talk regarding players’ types before game. show that desirable type-coordination property is achieved at unique fully revealing symmetric equilibrium (when it exists). Type-coordination also obtained in partially exists when does not. further prove truthfully revealed messages, followed by actions depend meaningfully on these are not profiles one-sided talk. Finally, equilibria do exist under sequential communication either.
