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 Strategic Uncertainty in Coordination Games
TL;DR: This paper explored three aspects of strategic uncertainty: its relation to risk, predictability of behavior and subjective beliefs of players, and showed that the best response to observed behavior is close to the global game solution.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Dark Side of Competition for Status
TL;DR: This work investigates experimentally the role of status-seeking behavior in sabotage and cheating activities aiming at improving one’s performance ranking in a flat-wage environment and finds that average effort is higher when individuals are informed about their relative performance.

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.

Thar She Bursts: Reducing Confusion Reduces Bubbles
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore why bubbles frequently emerge in the experimental asset market model of Smith, Suchanek, and Williams (1988), and they vary the fundamental value process (constant or declining) and the cash-to-asset value ratio (constantly or increasing).
Journal ArticleDOI
Group polarization in the team dictator game reconsidered
TL;DR: In this article, the authors re-examine group polarization by letting subjects make individual as well as team decisions in an experimental dictator game, and they find that teams are more selfish than individuals, and the most selfish team member has the strongest influence on team decisions.
