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.

Inflation expectations and monetary policy design: evidence from the laboratory

TL;DR: This article explored the interaction between the formation of inflation expectations and monetary policy design, and found that using actual rather than forecasted inflation produces lower inflation variability and reduce expectational cycles and that the forecasting rules chosen by subjects appear to vary systematically with the policy regime, with destabilizing mechanisms chosen more often when inflation control is weaker.

The right amount of trust

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the relationship between individual trust and individual economic performance and find that individual income is hump-shaped in a measure of intensity of trust beliefs and that the cost of either too much or too little trust is comparable to the income lost by foregoing college.

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.
