Field constraints often necessitate choosing an elicitation task that is intuitive, easy to explain, and simple to implement. Given that subject behavior often differs dramatically across tasks when eliciting risk preferences, caution needs to be exercised in choosing one risk elicitation task...

abstract from confounding effects of reciprocal behavior, we design an experiment where a public official decides upon … early periods. Risk attitudes measured with a subsequent lottery-choice experiment do not correlate with the behavior … observed in the corruption experiment. We explain our findings by a systematic underestimation of the overall probability of …

This paper examines the impact of a commonly experienced adverse cognitive state on decision making under uncertainty. Specifically, we administer an at-home sleep restriction protocol combined with random assignment to the time-of-day for decision making. Thus, we induce sleepiness in our...
