The Impact of Risk Perception and Risk Attitudes on Corrupt Behavior : Evidence from a Petty Corruption Experiment
Mir Djawadi, Behnud - 2013
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 …

Do Measures of Risk Attitude in the Laboratory Predict Behavior Under Risk in and Outside of the Laboratory?
Charness, Gary - 2019
We consider the external validity of laboratory measures of risk attitude. Based on a large-scale experiment using a …

The Impact of Violence on Individual Risk Preferences : Evidence from a Natural Experiment
Jakiela, Pamela - 2016
We estimate the impact of Kenya's post-election crisis on individual risk preferences. The crisis interrupted a longitudinal survey of more than five thousand Kenyan youth, creating plausibly exogenous variation in exposure to civil conflict by the time of the survey. We measure individual risk...

Eliciting Risk Preferences : Firefighting in the Field
Dasgupta, Utteeyo - 2016
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...

Safe Options Induce Gender Differences in Risk Attitudes
Crosetto, Paolo - 2017
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...
