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 Interaction of Communicating Measurement Uncertainty and the Dark Triad on Managers’ Reporting Decisions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conduct an interactive experiment with participants in manager and investor-like roles to examine whether and how mandating range disclosures for uncertain estimates will influence managers' reporting decisions, and find that managers report less aggressively when ranges are disclosed, such that investors have little aggressive reporting to identify using range disclosures.

On the escalation and de-escalation of conflict
TL;DR: Three variations of the Hirshleifer-Skaperdas conflict game are introduced to study experimentally the effects of post-conflict behavior and repeated interaction on the allocation of effort between production and appropriation.

Meaningful learning and transfer of learning in games played repeatedly without feedback
Scott Rick,Roberto A. Weber +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of withholding feedback are similar to, and substitutable with, those produced by requiring players to explain their behavior, a method commonly employed in psychology to increase deliberation, which suggests that withholding feedback encourages deeper thinking about the game in a manner similar to such self-explanation.

Menstrual cycle and competitive bidding
TL;DR: An evolutionary hypothesis is suggested according to which women are genetically predisposed by hormones to generally behave more riskily during their fertile phase of their menstrual cycle in order to increase the probability of conception, quality of offspring, and genetic variety.
