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

Entrepreneurial failure: Statistical and psychological explanations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors distinguish entrepreneurial markets from other types of markets and test statistical and psychological hypotheses for all market types and find that excess entry is significantly greater in small, risky markets than in other market types, and that confidence levels account for excess entry, over and above the effects of unbiased statistical errors.

Self-Image and Willful Ignorance in Social Decisions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze a Bayesian signaling model of an agent who cares about self-image and has the opportunity to learn the social benefits of a personally costly action, and show that willful ignorance can serve as an excuse for selfish behavior by obfuscating the signal about the decision maker's preferences, and serve to maintain the idea that the agent would have acted virtuously under full information.

Personality, personal values and cooperation preferences in public goods games: A longitudinal study

Leader corruption depends on power and testosterone
TL;DR: This article used incentivized experimental games to manipulate leader power -the number of followers and the discretion leaders had to enforce their will -and found that both amount of followers, and discretionary choices independently predicted leader corruption, while honesty did not shield leaders from the corruptive effect of power.
