In this paper we conduct a series of eld experiments in rural India in order to measure preferences related to risk, loss, and ambiguity. Disaggregating by data, we nd that on average women are signicantly more risk averse and loss averse than men, though the higher average risk aversion arises...

Retailers design pricing strategies that can be characterized as a choice of store price format between offering everyday low prices (EDLP) and high / low prices (HILO). EDLP stores set prices which are constant over time, while HILO stores set prices which are higher than EDLP stores on...
