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

Measuring Time and Risk Preferences: Reliability, Stability, Domain Specificity
Eva Woelbert,Arno Riedl +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the reliability of two choice tasks for eliciting discount rates, risk aversion, and probability weighting was evaluated and the authors found that individual characteristics are remarkably stable over time.

Image and misreporting
Mara Ewers,Florian Zimmermann +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze how image utility can lead to misreporting of private information in contexts where truthful reports maximize monetary outcomes, and suggest that overcondent appearance might be a consequence of social approval seeking.

Heterogeneity in Social Dilemmas: The Case of Social Support
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate whether more support is provided by homogeneous actors than by heterogeneous actors for different kinds of heterogeneity and derive hypotheses on actors' supportive behavior from game-theoretic analyses and test them with data from laboratory experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transaction costs, communication and spatial coordination in Payment for Ecosystem Services Schemes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the impact of transaction costs on participation and land use in the context of an Agglomeration Bonus (AB) scheme and find that communication improves both AB participation rates and performance with the effect being greater for participants facing high transaction costs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Profit-Seeking Punishment Corrupts Norm Obedience
TL;DR: A novel experiment is designed to provide experimental evidence indicating that if people know that enforcers can benefit monetarily by punishing, they no longer view punishment as signaling a norm violation, which results in a substantial degradation of punishmentʼs ability to influence behavior.

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.
