ConG is software for conducting economic experiments in continuous and discrete time. It allows experimenters with limited programming experience to create a variety of strategic environments featuring rich visual feedback in continuous time and over continuous action spaces, as well as in discrete time or over discrete action spaces. Simple, easily edited input files give the experimenter considerable flexibility in specifying the strategic environment and visual feedback. Source code is…

Continuous Dierentiation: Hotelling Revisits the Lab
We investigate experimentally the impact of continuous time on a four-player Hotelling location game. The static pure strategy Nash equilibrium (NE) consists of rms paired-up at the rst and third…
OGUMI—A new mobile application to conduct common-pool resource experiments in continuous time
TLDR
The motivation for the development of OGUMI is presented and the main features of the application are discussed, including its capacity to capture real-time changes in human behaviour in response to a dynamically varying resource.
oTree - An Open-Source Platform for Laboratory, Online, and Field Experiments
TLDR
oTree is an open-source and online software for implementing interactive experiments in the laboratory, online, the field or combinations thereof, and provides the source code, a library of standard game templates and demo games which can be played by anyone.

Half a Century of Public Software Institutions: Open Source as a Solution to Hold-Up Problem
TLDR
The intrinsic inefficiency of proprietary software has historically created a space for alternative institutions that provide software as a public good by organizing diverse individual incentives, both altruistic and profit-seeking, providing open source products of tremendous commercial importance, which have come to dominate certain segments of the software industry.
