z-Tree: Zurich toolbox for ready-made economic experiments
TLDR
Z-Tree as mentioned in this paper is a toolbox for ready-made economic experiments, which allows programming almost any kind of experiments in a short time and is stable and easy to use.Abstract:
z-Tree (Zurich Toolbox for Ready-made Economic Experiments) is a software for developing and conducting economic experiments. The software is stable and allows programming almost any kind of experiments in a short time. In this article, I present the guiding principles behind the software design, its features, and its limitations.read more

Using artefactual field and lab experiments to investigate how fee-for-service and capitation affect medical service provision
Jeannette Brosig-Koch,Heike Hennig-Schmidt,Heike Hennig-Schmidt,Nadja Kairies-Schwarz,Daniel Wiesen,Daniel Wiesen +5 more
TL;DR: This article analyzed how physicians, medical students, and non-medical students respond to financial incentives from fee-for-service and capitation and found that physicians, participating in the field and medical and nonmedical students participating in lab experiments, respond to the incentives in a consistent way: Significantly more medical services are provided under fee for service compared to capitation.

Rent seeking in groups
TL;DR: In this article, the authors conduct a series of economic experiments to study the behavior of groups and individuals competing against each other in rent-seeking contests and find substantial over-contribution to rentseeking relative to the equilibrium predictions of standard models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Promotions and Incentives: The Case of Multistage Elimination Tournaments
TL;DR: The authors analyzed incentives in multistage elimination tournaments with controlled laboratory experiments and found that participants in the two-stage treatment provided excess effort in the first stage, both with respect to Nash predictions and compared to the strategically equivalent one-stage tournament.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stochastic Income and Conditional Generosity
TL;DR: The authors studied how other-regarding behavior extends to environments with uncertain income and conditional commitments and found that women donate more in treatments where income is certain but the donation collection is uncertain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salient compromises in the newsvendor game
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that salience theory better explain news-vendor-like behavior than loss aversion-based models and find strong support for the role of loss aversion and salience.

A simple mechanism for the efficient provision of public goods - experimental evidence
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of experiments designed to investigate the factor of incentive mechanisms in the case of private provisions of public goods is presented. But the results showed that the proposed incentive mechanism is very promising.
