How do risk attitudes affect measured confidence?
Murad, Zahra; Sefton, Martin; Starmer, Chris - 2015
We examine the relationship between confidence in own absolute performance and risk attitudes using two confidence elicitation procedures: self-reported (non-incentivised) confidence and an incentivised procedure that elicits the certainty equivalent of a bet based on performance. The former...
