It extends the rare literature that focuses experimentally on the coordination problems caused by sunspot variables. It also extends the literature that focuses on coordination games that have a payoff-dominant and a divergent risk-dominant equilibrium. To achieve this, we use a repeated three-player stag hunt game with fixed groups. In our experiment, a sunspot variable points randomly at the risk-dominant or the payoff-dominant choice. We find out-of-equilibrium behavior (discoordination) caused by the sunspot variable in the short run. In the long run, the sunspot variable can lead to coordination of the payoff-dominated equilibrium (miscoordination). If the sunspot-generating process points more frequently to the risk-dominant choice, some groups converge to the sunspot equilibrium. 4950 https://doi.org/10.17185/duepublico/48154$xR$3Volltext$534 4950 https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:hbz:464-20190218-143533-2$xR$3Volltext$534 4961 https://duepublico2.uni-due.de/receive/duepublico_mods_00048154 5010 32 5051 320 5550 Coordination 5550 Sunspot
