Abstract

A Markov model with a coordination parameter is developed to depict coordination and cooperation decision processes in 2 × 2 game relationships. The parameters of the model can be used to define and measure various forms of influence. The model is applied to data collected using a prisoner‘s dilemma payoff structure to represent the superior-subordinate relationship. The results demonstrate the usefulness of the model and the measures of influence. Superiors and subordinates are more likely to coordinate following mutual cooperation, achieving matching behaviors more frequently than an independent-decisions model would predict. Subordinates show slightly more influence over leaders‘ behaviors than vice versa.
