Coordination in complex environments

Abstract

Coordination is an important aspect of innovative contexts, where: the more innovative a course of action, the more uncertain its outcome. To study the interplay of coordination and informational ``complexity'', I embed a beauty-contest game into a complex environment. I identify a new conformity phenomenon. This effect may push towards the exploration of unknown alternatives or constitute a status-quo bias, depending on the network structure of players' interactions. In an application, I show that an organization with decentralized authority can implement profit maximization in a sufficiently complex environment.
