“…Once these common grounds are established, they can serve as the prior from which senders can deviate to create surprise and direct the receiver's attention to essential information. Consider a fundamental principle from movement kinetics that a moving object will continue its path if no other external force is applied 7 . When this principle forms the core of a new common language, the trajectory along a straight line not only signifies a direction but also embodies a shared expectation.…”

Communication, often grounded in shared expectations, faces challenges without common linguistic backgrounds. Our study explores how people instinctively turn to the fundamental principles of the physical world to overcome communication barriers. Specifically, through the Tacit Communication Game, we investigate how participants develop novel strategies for conveying messages without relying on common linguistic signals. We developed a new computational model built from the principle of expectancy violations of a set of common universal priors derived from movement kinetics. The model closely resembles the Sender’s messages, with its core variable – the information-theoretic surprise – explaining the Receiver’s physiological and neural responses. This is evidenced by a significant correlation with the pupil diameter, indicating cognitive effort, and neural activity in brain areas related to expectancy violations. This research highlights the adaptability of human communication, showing how surprise can be a powerful tool in forming new communicative strategies without relying on common language.

“…It has been argued that commercial risks in 'new' markets have been sufficient to discourage investment. 5 This suggests that MNEs exhibit a considerable degree of risk aversion towards investing in these regions and that financial tools used by MNEs are far from adequate to manage these commercial risks properly. Third, the markets targeted are still poorly developed and typically lack an efficient financial system.…”

A partial equilibrium model is used to examine the international production allocation of a two-plant multinational firm that is confronted with uncertainty with respect to foreign sales. The firm produces identical products in both plants, using firm-specific factors. The internationally price-discriminating multinational has monopoly power in both segmented markets. The analysis focuses on how asymmetric insurance facilities between the firm's home and host country influence its international production allocation and level of intra-firm trade.
