The context is a simple bargaining problem in which two players have to agree a choice from three alternatives. One alternative favours one player and a second favours...</para>

Various experimental procedures aimed at measuring individual risk aversion involve a list of pairs of alternative prospects. We first study the widely used method by Holt and Laury (Am Econ Rev 92(5):1644–1655, <CitationRef CitationID="CR21">2002</CitationRef>), for which we find that the removal of some items from the lists yields a...</citationref>
