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

Selfish in the End?:An Investigation of Consistency and Stability of individual Behavior
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors put three of the most prominent specifications of other-regarding preferences to the experimental test, namely the theories developed by Charness and Rabin, by Fehr and Schmidt, and by Andreoni and Miller.

Other-regarding behavior and motivation in health care provision: an experiment with medical and non-medical students.
TL;DR: Compared to medical students, students of non-medical majors are less patient-regarding, less willing to sacrifice their own profit, and they state less motivation to improve patients' health, which results in significantly lower patient health benefits.

Looking at the bright side: The motivational value of confidence
TL;DR: This paper showed that negative debiasing information on individual ability diminishes effort provision, a result that is of obvious relevance for many contexts such as labor relations or learning at school, and also offer a strategy for identifying significant absolute overconfidence at the individual level.

Testing theories of reciprocity: Do motivations matter?
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate experimentally the hypothesis that the motivation driving an action is relevant for its perceived kindness and, as a consequence, for reciprocal behavior and find that positive reciprocity is less strong in response to strategically motivated actions than to non-strategically motivated actions.

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.
