In this paper we show that the wildly popular Holt and Laury (2002) risk preference elicitation method confounds … estimates of the curvature of the utility function, the traditional notion of risk preference, with an estimate of the extent to … confound while preserving the simplicity of the method which has made it so popular. Data from a laboratory experiment shows …

Despite the fact that conceptual models of individual decision making under risk are deterministic, attempts to … econometrically estimate risk preferences require some assumption about the stochastic nature of choice. Unfortunately, the … inferences about structural risk preferences across the competing specifications. Overall, a mixture model combining the two …

We test whether induced mood states have an effect on elicited risk and time preferences in a conventional laboratory … experiment. We jointly estimate risk and time preferences and use a mixture specification that allows choices to be consistent … Utility Theory, we find that subjects induced into a negative mood exhibit higher risk aversion than those in either the …

We test whether induced mood states have an effect on elicited risk and time preferences. Risk preferences between … cognitively demanding task before risk preference elicitation increases risk aversion and females are less risk averse when in all …

We elicit and compare risk preferences from student subjects and subjects drawn from the general population, using the … risk aversion than others. …
