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

An experimental investigation of endowment source heterogeneity in two-person public good games
John M. Spraggon,Robert J. Oxoby +1 more
TL;DR: This paper found an inverse found money effect in two-person public good experiments in which individuals earning their endowments contribute more and engage in "altruistic conditional cooperation" when they are matched with those whose endowment is provided by the experimenters.

Social norms, third-party observation and third-party reward
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of third-party observation and thirdparty reward on behavior in an experimental prisoner?s dilemma (PD) game was examined, and it was shown that both third party observation and reward have positive effects on cooperation rates, compared to a treatment where no third party is involved.

Framing Effects in Public Goods: Prospect Theory and Experimental Evidence
TL;DR: This paper studies, both theoretically and experimentally, frame effects in the context of a public good game in which players have to make a costly contribution either to achieve or not to lose a non excludable monetary prize.

The anatomy of distributional preferences with group identity
TL;DR: The authors assesses the impact of social identity on distributional preferences in a modified dictator game and find that subjects on average put less weight on income of the out-group than the in-group.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors study persuasion effects in experimental ultimatum games and find that Proposers' payoffs significantly increase if, along with offers, they can send messages which Responders read before deciding.

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.
