Aggregation and convergence in experimental general equilibrium economies constructed from naturally occurring preferences

Crockett, Sean; Friedman, Daniel; Oprea, Ryan - 2017

Prior laboratory experiments have studied general equilibrium economies constructed from "induced preferences" for artificial goods. We introduce new methods that allow us to study economies constructed instead from subjects' actual, "homegrown" preferences. Our subjects reveal their preferences...

Optimal stopping under ambiguity in continuous time

Riedel, Frank - 2010

We develop a theory of optimal stopping problems under ambiguity in continuous time. Using results from (backward) stochastic calculus, we characterize the value function as the smallest (nonlinear) supermartingale dominating the payoff process. For Markovian models, we derive an adjusted...

Optimal stopping under ambiguity

Riedel, Frank - 2007

We consider optimal stopping problems for ambiguity averse decision makers with multiple priors. In general, backward induction fails. If, however, the class of priors is time-consistent, we establish a generalization of the classical theory of optimal stopping. To this end, we develop first...

Everyday econometricians: Selection neglect and overoptimism when learning from others

Barron, Kai; Huck, Steffen; Jehiel, Philippe - 2019

In this paper, we design an investment game which allows us to study the influence of selection when learning from … others. Using the theoretical study of selection neglect in Jehiel (2018) as a guide, we test (i) for the presence of … selection neglect in this investment context, and (ii) some comparative static predictions of the model. We find strong evidence …
