Experimental research on decision making under risk has until now always employed choicedata in order to evaluate the empirical performance of expected utility and the alternative nonexpectedutility theories. The present paper performs a similar analysis which relies on pricingdata instead of...

In this paper we experimentally investigate the disparity between willingness-to-accept (WTA) and willingness-to-pay (WTP) for risky lotteries. The direction of the income effect is reversed by endowing subjects with the highest price of a lottery when asking the WTP question. Our results show...

Recently proposed models of risky choice imply systematic violations of transitivity of preference. Five studies explored whether people show patterns of intransitivity predicted by four descriptive models. To distinguish ?true? violations from those produced by ?error,? a model was fit in which...
