In a second experiment we replicate the finding of increased risk … aversion for large probabilities of a gain, while for small probability gains we find an increase of risk seeking under …

We … performed a joint experimental elicitation of risk and time preferences both for couples and for their individual members. We … used general behavioral models of decision under risk and over time and measured utility, probability weighting, and …
