To Pay or Not to Pay : Measuring Risk Preferences in Lab and Field
Brañas-Garza, Pablo - 2020
Measuring risk preferences in the field is critical for policy, however, it can be costly. For instance, the commonly used measure of Holt and Laury (2002) relies on a dozen lottery choices and payments which makes it time-consuming and costly. We propose a short version of the Holt and Laury...
