Primes¶
- Coordination Problem and Equilibrium Selection
- The cost of switching is identical whether the cost is retraining (organizational) or retooling (technological), a structural equivalence Van Huyck, Battalio, and Beil (1990) demonstrated experimentally across stag-hunt coordination games of varying scale.
This sourceExperimental demonstration that the same multi-equilibrium structure produces parallel coordination outcomes across group sizes and payoff scales — evidence of the pattern's structural transferability.

Domain-specific¶
- Assurance Game
- The clearest laboratory realization is the Van Huyck, Battalio, and Beil minimum-effort coordination experiment (American Economic Review, 1990)
This sourceThe experimental finding that large groups converged on the low, risk-dominant equilibrium under unchanged payoffs, i.e. coordination failure from strategic uncertainty.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 2 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
