We elicit subjects' willingness to pay to reduce future risk. In our experiments, subjects are given a cash endowment … probability sessions, suggesting that this bias robustly persists in environments including both risk and future uncertainty, and …

The economic models of tax compliance predict that individuals should evade taxes when the expected benefit of cheating is greater than its expected cost. When this condition is fulfilled, the high compliance however observed remains a puzzle. In this paper, we investigate the role of emotions...

We evaluate biodiversity in a real options framework, when the resources in use are substitutable. We examine optimal conservation decisions given that a biodiversity loss is irreversible and that future use values are uncertain. While species substitutability is generally believed to reduce the...

We show that using data which are properly available in real time when assessing the sensitivity of asset prices to economic news leads to different empirical findings that when data availability and timing issues are ignored. We do this by focusing on a particular example, namely Chen, Roll and...

This paper distinguishes relative risk aversion and resistance to intertemporal substitution in climate risk modeling …. It shows that higher risk aversion increases the optimal carbon tax. Higher resistance to intertemporal substitution … alone has the same effect as increasing the discount rate, provided that the risk is not too large. We discuss implications …

This paper extends the standard work effort model by allowing workers to interact through networks. We investigate experimentally whether peer performances and peer contextual effects influence individual performances. Two types of network are considered. Participants in Recursive networks are...

The objective of this paper is to look into the probability that, given the choice, corporate groups would opt for taxation on a consolidated basis. Consolidation would allow them to offset losses crossborder but remove the opportunity to exploit international tax-rate differentials between...

We experimentally test whether risk aversion or ambiguity aversion can explain decisions in a learning-by-doing game …. We first measure subjects' preferences toward risk and ambiguity, and then use these measures to predict behavior in the … game. We find that ambiguity averse subjects pay more often to resolve ambiguity, and we find that less risk averse …
