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

Representative evidence on lying costs
TL;DR: This article measured the extent of lying costs among a representative sample of the German population by calling them at home and found that participants have a clear monetary incentive to misreport, misreporting cannot be detected, reputational concerns are negligible and altruism, efficiency concerns or conditional cooperation cannot play a role.

The relationship between economic preferences and psychological personality measures
TL;DR: This paper analyzed the extent to which economic preferences and psychological concepts of personality, such as the Big Five and locus of control, are related and found that the two concepts are rather complementary when it comes to explaining heterogeneity in important life outcomes and behavior.
