The reflection effect and fourfold pattern of risk attitudes are often thought to be stylized facts about decision making under risk in lab settings. We take a closer look at this received wisdom, using 5 existing data sets from pairwise lottery choice experiments with real monetary incentives....

The random preference (RP) model provides an integral framework for modeling within-individual heterogeneity in choice behavior, by attributing this heterogeneity to preference parameters in the underlying theory of risk attitudes instead of an additive error term that is external to the theory....

The Cramer-Ridder test is a popular procedure for testing if some outcome states can be pooled into one state in the multinomial logit model. This note shows that, in the presence of binary regressors, the test is overly stringent and poolability may not be tested unambiguously

We analyse stated preference data over nursing jobs collected from two leading types of best-worst discrete choice experiments (DCEs): a traditional DCE involving choice over alternative jobs (BWL) and a newly-developed DCE where respondents choose best and worst job attributes (BWT). The latter...

Discrete choice experiments (DCEs) often present concise choice scenarios that may appear incomplete to respondents. To allow respondents to express uncertainty arising from this incompleteness, DCEs may ask them to state probabilities with which they expect to make specific choices. The...
