چکیده

When people coordinate in one-shot, pure coordination games they rely on existing notions of salience. In an experiment with pure coordination games, concepts of salience emerged when players were given a set of different but related coordination problems with randomly generated labels. The same players were also given a set of different but related coordination problems with culture-laden labels and “common features” between labels across problems. The players could develop concepts of salience in the first set of games and appeared to use “common features” as rules for coordination in the second set. The paper also finds evidence of pair-specific learning and coordination on favourite labels. 1 E-mail: [email protected]. I thank Professor Robert Sugden and Professor Shaun Hargreaves Heap for their continuous encouragement and guidance throughout this project. I also thank Dr Peter Moffatt and Kei Tsutsui for helpful comments and suggestions as well as participants at the ESA European Meeting 2006, RES PhD Conference 2007, and seminars held at the University of East Anglia. All the errors are mine. I am grateful to Kei Tsutsui for the computer programmes made for the experiment, the pilot of the experiment, and the analysis of the experimental results. Financial support from the Leverhulme Trust is gratefully acknowledged.

GAME OF COORDINATION FOR BACTERIAL PATTERN FORMATION: A FINITE AUTOMATA MODELLING

In this paper, we use game theory to describe the emergence of self-organization and consequent pattern formation through communicative cooperation in Bacillus subtilis colonies. The emergence of cooperative regime is modelled as an n-player Assurance game, with the bacterial colonies as individual players. The game is played iteratively through cooperative communication, and mediated by exchan...

1 When and Why ? A Critical Survey on Coordination Failure in the Laboratory 1

Coordination games with Pareto-ranked equilibria have attracted major theoretical attention over the past two decades. Two early path-breaking sets of experimental studies were widely interpreted as suggesting that coordination failure is a common phenomenon in the laboratory. We identify the major determinants that seem to affect the incidence, and/or emergence, of coordination failure in the ...
