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

Inertia and decision making
TL;DR: This work investigates the tendency to repeat previous choices independently of the outcome in probability-updating tasks and finds evidence of decision inertia in both required and autonomous decisions, but the effect of inertia is more clear in the latter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Competition and relational contracts: the role of unemployment as a disciplinary device
TL;DR: The authors examine how competition for labor affects the emergence of relational contracts and their effectiveness in overcoming moral hazard in the labor market and show that effective relational contracts do emerge in a market with excess demand for labor.

A prize to give for: An experiment on public good funding mechanisms
TL;DR: In this paper, fund-raising mechanisms based on a prize as a way to overcome free riding in the private provision of public goods are investigated in an environment characterized by income heterogeneity and incomplete information about income levels.

Screening, Competition, and Job Design: Economic Origins of Good Jobs
Björn Bartling,Björn Bartling,Björn Bartling,Ernst Fehr,Klaus M. Schmidt,Klaus M. Schmidt,Klaus M. Schmidt +6 more
TL;DR: The authors show that complementarity between high effort discretion, rent-sharing, screening opportunities, and competition are important driving forces behind these new forms of work organization, and that the introduction of competition substantially fosters the trust strategy, reduces market segmentation, and leads to large welfare gains for both employers and employees.

TL;DR: This article used subjects' actions in modified dictator games to perform a within-subject classification of individuals into four different types of interdependent preferences: Selfish, Social Welfare maximizers, Inequity Averse and Competitive.

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.
