We explore in an equilibrium framework whether games with multiple Nash equilibria are
easier to play when players can communicate. We consider two variants, modelling talk …

In this dissertation, I use laboratory experiments to test decision theory and microeconomic
theory models. Chapters 1 and 2 study individual decision making under uncertainty, and …

In an equilibrium framework, we explore how players communicate in games with multiple
Nash equilibria when messages that make sense are not ignored. Communication is about …

Standard models of communication have multiple equilibria. There are many reasons for
this, but one of them is that abstract models of communication do not provide unambiguous …
