Flipping a coin : theory and evidence
Dwenger, Nadja; Kübler, Dorothea; Weizsäcker, Georg - 2014 - rev.
We investigate the possibility that a decision-maker prefers to avoid making a decision and instead delegates it to an external device, e.g., a coin flip. In a series of experiments our participants often choose a stochastically dominated lottery between outcomes, contradicting most theories of...

Preference for Randomization: Empirical and Experimental Evidence
Dwenger, Nadja; Kübler, Dorothea; Weizsäcker, Georg - Sonderforschungsbereich 649: Ökonomisches Risiko, … - 2013
We investigate violations of consequentialism in the form of the stochastic dominance property. The property is shared by many theories of choice and implies that the decision-maker prefers receiving the best outcome for sure over all lotteries that involve multiple outcomes. We run experiments...
