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

Equality, Equity and Incentives: An Experiment
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the tension between egalitarianism, equity concerns, self-interest, and the need for incentives in a 2x2 game where subjects either vote on or exogenously encounter incentive settings while assigned unequal incomes that are either task-dependent or random.

Tax compliance and psychic costs: behavioral experimental evidence using a physiological marker
Uwe Dulleck,Uwe Dulleck,Jonas Fooken,Cameron Newton,Andrea Ristl,Markus Schaffner,Benno Torgler +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of psychic stress generated by the possibility of breaking social norms in the tax compliance context was analyzed, and the results of their laboratory experiments provided empirical evidence of a positive correlation between psychic stress and tax compliance.

Bubbles and Information: An Experiment
TL;DR: It is found that markets with asymmetrically informed traders have significantly smaller bubbles than markets with symmetricallyinformed or uninformed traders, suggesting that bubbles are abated when traders know that a subset of them have an edge over others.

The impact of the menstrual cycle and hormonal contraceptives on competitiveness
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined whether competitiveness in women is influenced by biological factors and found that the likelihood of selecting into the competitive environment varies strongly and significantly over the menstrual cycle and with the intake of hormonal contraceptives, consistent with a negative impact of the sex hormone progesterone on competitiveness.

Cortisol and testosterone increase financial risk taking and may destabilize markets
Carlos Cueva,R. Edward Roberts,Thomas J. Spencer,Thomas J. Spencer,Nisha Rani,Michelle Tempest,Philippe N. Tobler,Joe Herbert,Aldo Rustichini,Aldo Rustichini +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown that cortisol, a hormone that modulates the response to physical or psychological stress, predicts instability in financial markets, and changes in both cortisol and testosterone could play a destabilizing role in financial Markets through increased risk taking behaviour, acting via different behavioural pathways.

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.
