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

Amoral familism, social capital, or trust? : the behavioural foundations of the Italian North-South divide
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the first laboratory-in-the field experiment on the Italian North-South divide using a representative sample of the population, and measure whether regional disparities in ability to cooperate emerge even if differences in geography, institutions and criminal intrusion are silenced.

A Comparison of Buyer-Determined and Price-Based Multiattribute Mechanisms
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate two mechanisms commonly used for procurement in business-to-business markets, in a setting in which buyers' welfare is affected by exogenous nonprice attributes such as the quality, service, and past relationships.

Convergence of speech rate in conversation predicts cooperation
TL;DR: Gonzales et al. as discussed by the authors showed that spontaneous, temporally based behavioral coordination might facilitate prosocial behavior when the joint cooperative effort is itself perceived as a form of coordination.

A Laboratory Experiment to Compare Two Market Institutions for Emissions Trading
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report results from an economic experiment where two markets institutions for controlling water pollution are compared in the status quo institution, permit trades between point and non-point sources are subject to a trading ratio, and nonpoint abatements are converted into permits with multiple attributes.

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.
