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.

Cognitive (ir)reflection: New experimental evidence☆

TL;DR: The authors study how cognitive abilities correlate with behavioral choices by collecting evidence from almost 1200 subjects across eight experimental projects concerning a wide variety of tasks, including some classic risk and social preference elicitation protocols and find that females score significantly less than males in the Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT) and that, in their wrong answers, impulsive ones are observed more frequently.

Out of your mind: Eliciting individual reasoning in one shot games

TL;DR: Level-0 beliefs are not significantly different from 50, and almost 60% of higher level players start their reasoning from a level-0 belief of exactly 50, which suggests that around one third of the participants play non-strategically.

Gender differences and dynamics in competition: the role of luck

TL;DR: In a real effort experiment with repeated competition, this paper found that women are less inclined to pursue competition-intensive careers than men when the prize at stake is big enough, and that the response to luck is more persistent and explain more of the variation in behavior for women.

Aggregation in Large Dynamic Panels

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the problem of aggregation in the case of large linear dynamic panels, where each micro unit is potentially related to all other micro units, and where micro innovations are allowed to be cross-sectionally dependent.
