Abstract

We study within- and cross-culture interaction in a Stag Hunt game, using a controlled online experiment with Chinese and American participants. We fnd that cross-culture interactions can have a positive impact on efciency. American participants, particularly females, more frequently selected the efcient but risky action when facing a Chinese counterpart. Chinese male participants, instead, less frequently selected the efcient but risky action when facing an American counterpart. These behavioral asymmetries do not support the notion of cultural equivalence, nor the hypothesis that multiculturalism fosters strategic uncertainty.
