We consider the external validity of laboratory measures of risk attitude. Based on a large-scale experiment using a … laboratory risky financial decisions, and (ii) behavior in naturally-occurring field behavior under risk (financial, health and … employment decisions).

Subjective Measures of Economic Well-Being and the Influence of Income Uncertainty
Schwarze, Johannes - 2021
This paper provides evidence that subjective measures of individual well being can be used to study the impact of income uncertainty from an ex ante point of view. Two different measures of subjective well being are under study: Satisfaction with household income and the income evaluation...

The Measurement of Child Costs : A Rothbarth-Type Method Consistent with Scale Economies
Bargain, Olivier - 2009
We propose a new methodology to estimate the share of household income accruing to children (i.e., the cost of children). Following the principle of the Rothbarth approach, the identification of the children's share requires the observation of at least one adult-specific good. However, our...

A New Framework for the Analysis of Inequality
Cunha, Flavio - 2008
This paper presents a new framework for analyzing inequality that moves beyond the anonymity postulate. We estimate the determinants of sectoral choice and the joint distributions of outcomes across sectors. We determine which components of realized earnings variability are due to uncertainty...
