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 online laboratory: conducting experiments in a real labor market
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use an online labor market to replicate three classic experiments and find quantitative agreement between levels of cooperation in a prisoner's dilemma played online and in the physical laboratory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spontaneous giving and calculated greed
TL;DR: The cognitive basis of cooperative decision-making in humans using a dual-process framework is explored and it is proposed that cooperation is intuitive because cooperative heuristics are developed in daily life where cooperation is typically advantageous.
