We replicate three pricing tasks of Gneezy, List and Wu (2006) for which they document the so-called uncertainty effect, namely, that people value a binary lottery over non-monetary outcomes less than other people value the lottery's worse outcome. While the authors implemented a verbal lottery...

We design a comprehensive experimental setup to study (i) intrinsic preferences for gradual information revelation (ii) with different skewness (positive, negative, or symmetric) (iii) in two information environments. In a compound lottery environment, symmetric information revelation is...

This paper proposes a new method to identify gambler's fallacy (GF) and hot-hand fallacy (HHF). In the classical method, subjects are classified as exhibiting GF/HHF even they are just randomizing/indifferent between options. In our method, subjects play the game twice and we vary the payoff...

We demonstrate that lottery markets can exhibit the “hot-hand” phenomenon, in which past winning numbers tend to receive a greater share of the bets in future draws, even though past and future events are independent. This finding is surprising, as works by Clotfelter and Cook (1993) and...

Experimental research on decision making under risk has until now always employed choice data in order to evaluate the empirical performance of expected utility and the alternative nonexpected utility theories. The present paper performs a similar analysis which relies on pricing data instead of...
