Abstract: In this paper, we experimentally study targeted intervention in a coordination game played in a network. We study two types of bonuses that encourage efficient coordination: a bonus for everyone, and a targeted bonus for less connected nodes only. The bonus for everyone successfully moves the system to the efficient outcome. The targeted bonus performs well initially, but the effect does not persist.
