Abstract: Abstract. We report the results of an experiment on a continuous version of the minimum effort coordination game. The introduction of within‐team competition significantly increases effort levels relative to a baseline with no competition and increases coordination relative to a secure treatment where the pay‐off‐dominant equilibrium strategy weakly dominates all other actions. Nonetheless, within‐team competition does not prevent subjects from polarizing both in the efficient and the inefficient equilibria.
