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

The Role of Intuition and Reasoning in Driving Aversion to Risk and Ambiguity
TL;DR: This paper found that risk and ambiguity aversion are positively correlated, and the common link is decision style: intuitive thinkers tolerate more risk and uncertainty than effortful reasoners, and that intuitive thinking confers an advantage in risky or ambiguous situations.

The role of beliefs, trust, and risk in contributions to a public good
Martin G. Kocher,Martin G. Kocher,Martin G. Kocher,Peter Martinsson,Dominik Matzat,Conny Wollbrant +5 more
TL;DR: This paper investigated if and how beliefs, trust, and risk attitudes are associated with cooperative behavior and found that beliefs about others' cooperation and trust are positively correlated with cooperation in a public goods game, even though contributing to a public good resembles a situation of making decisions under strategic uncertainty.

Attitudes to ambiguity in one-shot normal-form games: An experimental study
TL;DR: Based on an experiment in the lab, behavior in one-shot normal-form games is classified along three important dimensions about whether subjects are ambiguity-loving, ambiguity-neutral, or ambiguity-averse.

Deterrence, expected cost, uncertainty and voting: Experimental evidence
Gregory DeAngelo,Gary Charness +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of uncertainty on an individual's decision to commit a traffic violation were investigated in controlled conditions, and they found that individuals respond considerably to increases in the expected cost of speeding, uncertainty about the enforcement regime yields a significant reduction in violations committed, and people are much more likely to speed when the punishment regime for which they voted is implemented.

Men, women, and competition: An experimental test of behavior
Donald Vandegrift,Abdullah Yavas +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report a series of experiments that examine outcomes when agents are able to choose between a payment scheme that rewards based on absolute performance (i.e., piece rate) and a scheme based on relative performance (e.g., a tournament).

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.
