Audi Alteram Partem: An Experiment on Selective Exposure to Information
Montanari, Giovanni; Nunnari, Salvatore - 2023
We report the results of an experiment on selective exposure to information. A decision maker interested in learning about an uncertain state of the world can acquire information from one of two sources which have opposite biases: when informed on the state, they report it truthfully; when...

Minnich, Aljoscha; Roggenkamp, Hauke; Lange, Andreas - 2023
This paper investigates ambiguity attitudes for natural events (temperatures) and how they are updated following new information. Using a general population sample, we first obtain baseline ambiguity attitudes for future weather events based on real temperatures over several past days. Second,...
