“…Policymakers and government agencies can use the findings to create more effective coordination methods and improve the results of their policy endeavors [18]. Collaborators and cooperators can better grasp the aspects that drive successful collaboration and work together to achieve common goals [31,34]. Furthermore, researchers and academics can build on this work to further investigate the dynamics of collaborative coordination and their applications.…”

Background: Policy coordination is necessary to address many of the sustainability challenges we face today. The formal representations of policy coordination focus on modeling conflict management but neglect its collaborative nature. This limits efforts to build more realistic models of policy coordination. The objective of this paper is to simulate collaboration and noncollaboration between agents in the context of policy coordination in order to determine the effect of different approaches to policy coordination. Methods: For this purpose, a multiagent simulation of collaboration based on evolutionary game theory is used. Results: The results suggest that policy coordination through collaboration produces the most desirable outcomes and that reducing the cost of communication between agents is necessary to increase the probability of collaboration. Conclusions: The cost of information (both its transmission and transformation) is critical to increase the probability of collaboration in policy coordination. This paper advances the understanding of how to model the collaborative nature of policy coordination by contributing to the methodological standardization of the analysis and implementation of public policy coordination.

“…It offers a unique perspective by recognizing the limitations of human cognitive abilities and behavioral biases in information processing [30]. By incorporating these costs into the model, the paper addresses the need to consider information processing costs in order to improve decision-making processes [31].…”
