Many economic problems are naturally modeled as coordination problems. Speculators in financial markets may have an incentive to attack a currency only if they believe that others will do so. Depositors in a bank may have an incentive to withdraw their money only if they think that others will do so. In such settings, informal commentary points to "confidence" and "self-fulfilling expectations" as determinants of the outcome, but there is still no consensus on the corresponding theory to flesh out these explanations.The purpose of this project is to fund the participation of U.S. researchers in an international conference that brings together theorists and experimental economists who have been studying these issues. The conference will be held in Barcelona, Spain on August 17-19, 2002 in the campus of Pompeu Fabra University. The time is ripe is for such a conference. There has been rapid theoretical progress in the modeling of coordination with incomplete information. However, there is no consensus on whether the predictions of the new theories are of practical relevance. There is a well-developed experimental literature on coordination games. These literatures have developed independently and the two groups of researchers have much to learn from each other.

许多经济问题自然地被建模为协调问题。 金融市场上的投机者只有相信其他人会这样做时，才会有攻击某种货币的动机。银行的储户只有在认为其他人会这样做时才会有动机提取资金。 在这种情况下，非正式评论指出“信心”和“自我实现的期望”是结果的决定因素，但对于充实这些解释的相应理论仍然没有达成共识。该项目的目的是资助美国研究人员参加一个国际会议，该会议汇集了一直在研究这些问题的理论家和实验经济学家。会议将于2002年8月17-19日在西班牙巴塞罗那庞培法布拉大学校园举行。召开这样一次会议的时机已经成熟。 不完全信息协调建模的理论进展很快。 然而，对于新理论的预测是否具有实际意义，尚未达成共识。 关于协调博弈有完善的实验文献。 这些文献都是独立发展的，两组研究人员有很多可以互相学习的地方。
