Coordination with Asymmetries in Highly Complex and Volatile Environments

Abstract

This final report provides a summary of accomplishments, organized according to the project objectives, and key findings of the two experiments conducted during this award period. Major findings, thus far include: (1) Time pressure in both decision and feedback stages have significant effects on coordination efficiency (2) Intra-firm task heterogeneities can serve as a mechanism for large firms to achieve efficient coordination levels (3) Trust preferences provide an accurate account of subjects behavior across time, while risk preferences were key in initial conditions. The combined project outcomes provide a systematic analysis of collective trust, its evolution and outcomes, by using both coordination and collective incentive designs when agents have heterogeneities within their group. These are areas of clear and direct relevance to the Air Force and DoD community.
