Preferences for Redistribution and Pensions : What can We Learn from Experiments?
Tausch, Franziska; Potters, Johannes (Jan) J. M.; … - 2021
experiments have revealed, however, that most people do in fact have redistributional preferences that are not merely inspired by …, individuals make choices in front of the veil of ignorance and know their position. Experiments show that preferences for …, in particular, if inequality is due to chance rather than effort. There are also significant differences in preferences …

Justice Under Uncertainty
Cettolin, Elena; Riedl, Arno - 2021
An important element for the public support of policies is their perceived justice. At the same time most policy choices have uncertain outcomes. We report the results of a first experiment investigating just allocations of resources when some recipients are exposed to uncertainty. Although,...

Partial Coercion, Conditional Cooperation, and Self-Commitment in Voluntary Contributions to Public Goods
Cettolin, Elena - 2011
In this paper we experimentally investigate whether partial coercion can in combination with conditional cooperation increase contributions to a public good. We are especially interested in the behavior of the non-coerced populations. The main finding is that in our setting conditional...

Measuring Time and Risk Preferences : Reliability, Stability, Domain Specificity
Woelbert, Eva - 2013
To accurately predict behavior economists need reliable measures of individual time preferences and attitudes toward risk and typically need to assume stability of these characteristics over time and across decision domains. We test the reliability of two choice tasks for eliciting discount...

An Experimental Investigation of Risk Sharing and Adverse Selection
Tausch, Franziska; Potters, Jan; Riedl, Arno - CESifo - 2013
Does adverse selection hamper the effectiveness of voluntary risk sharing? How do differences in risk profiles affect adverse selection? We experimentally investigate individuals’ willingness to share risks with others. Across treatments we vary how risk profiles differ between individuals. We...
