We use probit regression with random effects to test hypotheses regarding the frequency and form of coordination failure in the presence of repeated play versus one-shot games. Our results indicate that repetition without pre-play communication results in a lower frequency of coordination failure relative to one-shot game outcomes. This result is reversed when pre-play communication is allowed. Our evidence also suggests that repeated play coordination failures tend to be suboptimal Nash equilibria, whereas one-shot game coordination failures are disequilibria regardless of the presence of pre-play communication.", pages = "141-152(12)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/klu/exec/2004/00000007/00000002/05273625" doi = "doi:10.1023/B:EXEC.0000026976.44467.66" }
