Evidence of Illusion of Control - the fact that people believe to have control over pure chance events - is a recurrent finding in experimental psychology. Results in economics find instead little to no support. In this paper we test whether this dissonant result across disciplines is due to the...

The sound of others : surprising evidence of conformist behavior

Crosetto, Paolo; Filippin, Antonio - 2015

It has been shown that subjects tend to follow others' behavior even when the external signals are uninformative.

Gender differences in risk attitudes are frequently observed, although recent literature has shown that they are context dependent rather than ubiquitous. In this paper we try to rationalize the heterogeneity of results investigating experimentally whether the presence of a safe option among the...

The effect of observing multiple private information outcomes on the inclination to cheat

Casal, Sandro; Filippin, Antonio - 2020

This paper investigates experimentally how the inclination to cheat changes when agents report the result of multiple realizations of a (private information) stochastic event rather than a single outcome. Extreme outcomes clearly signal opportunistic behavior with multiple realizations. The...

A reconsideration of gender differences in risk attitudes

Filippin, Antonio; Crosetto, Paolo - 2014

This paper reconsiders the wide agreement that females are more risk averse than males providing a leap forward in its understanding. Thoroughly surveying the experimental literature we first find that gender differences are less ubiquitous than usually depicted. Gathering the microdata of an...
