We experimentally investigate the Outcome Bias in financial decision making. In three treatments, we vary the cognitive challenge investors have to overcome to separate skill from luck. Investors show clear tendencies towards the Outcome Bias in all treatments. The Outcome Bias is stronger, by a...

Many theories have been developed to model decision behavior under ambiguity. In this paper we empirically investigate theories which are based on non-additive probabilities, i.e. Choquet expected utility (CEU) theories. We first replicated Ellsberg-paradox behavior. Then we elicited the...
