我们通过实验研究了主动沟通作为自愿贡献公共物品环境中提高经济效率的机制的作用。在没有通信的情况下，该环境已被证明会导致显着的次优性，通过决策环境的迭代接近零贡献。研究表明，沟通可以显着提高群体最优性。我们检查了我们的结果在日益复杂的环境中以及在曾经有过通信历史但不再存在主动通信的环境中的稳健性。
We examine experimentally the role of active communication as a mechanism for improving economic efficiency in a voluntary contribution public goods environment. With no communication this environment has been shown to induce significant subop‐timality, approaching zero contributions with iteration of the decision environment. Communication is shown to improve group optimality significantly. We examine the robustness of our results in increasingly complex environments and in environments in which there has been a history of communication but active communication is no longer available.
