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

Do students behave like real taxpayers in the lab? Evidence from a real effort tax compliance experiment
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on data from a real-effort tax compliance experiment using three subject pools: students, who do not pay income tax; company employees, whose income is reported by their employer; and self-employed taxpayers, who are responsible for filing and payment.

Gender Differences and Dynamics in Competition: The Role of Luck
David Gill,Victoria L. Prowse +1 more
TL;DR: In a real effort experiment with repeated competition, the authors found that women are less inclined to pursue competition-intensive careers than men when the prize at stake is big enough, and that the response to luck is more persistent and explain more of the variation in behavior for women.

Do Antitrust Laws Facilitate Collusion? Experimental Evidence on Costly Communication in Duopolies
Ola Andersson,Erik Wengström +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, price formation and stability of collusive agreements on experimental duopoly markets with non-binding communication are studied. But the experimental results do not support the mechanism of McCutcheon's (1997) argument, the findings point in the direction of her prediction that antitrust laws might work in the interest of firms.

On the ingredients for bubble formation: Informed traders and communication
TL;DR: In this article, the existence of inside information and communication among traders was studied for bubble formation in real financial markets, and it was shown that the mere possibility that some traders are better informed than others can create bubbles.

How soon is now? Evidence of present bias from convex time budget experiments
TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a laboratory experiment in which elicited time and risk preference parameters from 494 participants, using convex time budgets and tightly controlling for transaction costs, and found strong evidence of present bias, with estimates of the present bias parameter ranging from 0.902-0.924.

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.
