In a coordination game with switching costs and logit quantal response, endogenous hard transformations (action deletion) eliminate inertia better than soft ones (taxes), while meta-level antagonistic social preferences can block individually Pareto-improving reforms.

Strategic Inertia and Institutional Change:A Behavioral Model of Price Reforms versus Action Deletion
A quantal response equilibrium with status-quo bias shows that deleting a default action forces transition to the superior equilibrium in binary coordination games regardless of switching costs or rationality, unlike taxation which requires exceeding a rationality-independent threshold.

Why Efficient Reforms Fail: Endogenous Game Transformation under Status Quo Bias and Social Preferences
In a coordination game with switching costs and logit quantal response, endogenous hard transformations (action deletion) eliminate inertia better than soft ones (taxes), while meta-level antagonistic social preferences can block individually Pareto-improving reforms.
