What determines risk attraction or aversion? We experimentally examine three factors: the gain-loss dichotomy, the probabilities (0.2 vs. 0.8), and the money at risk (7 amounts). We find that the majority display risk attraction for small amounts of money, and risk aversion for larger amounts....

study of economic decision making. We propose a method to jointly measure the intensity of risk aversion, prudence, and … temperance. Our theoretical approach is to define risk compensations of different orders, and in an experiment we elicit these …. In contrast to commonly used utility functions, prospect theory can predict this behavioral pattern. In our experiment …

We correlate choice under risk in Holt-Laury lottery tasks for gains and losses with salivary testosterone, estradiol, progesterone, and cortisol, the use of hormonal contraceptives, menstrual cycle information as well as the digit ratio (2D:4D) in more than 200 subjects. Risk aversion is...

We study the correlation of choice under risk in Holt-Laury lotteries for gains and losses with gender, the use of hormonal contraceptives, menstrual cycle information, salivary testosterone, estradiol, progesterone, and cortisol as well as the digit ratio (2D:4D) in more than 200 subjects. In...

Individual risk preferences can be identified by using decision models with tuned parameters that maximally fit a set … of risky choices made by a decision maker. A goal of this model fitting procedure is to isolate parameters that … decision maker's tastes and willingness to tolerate risk. Using hierarchical statistical methods we show significant …
