We present the first calibration of quantum decision theory (QDT) to an empirical data set. The data comprise 91 …. The prediction of choice reversal is then refined by introducing heterogeneity between decision makers through a … differentiation of the population into two similar sized groups in terms of "over-confident" and "contrarian" decision makers. This …

The use of coarse categories is prevalent in various situations and has been linked to biased economic outcomes, ranging from discrimination against minorities to empirical anomalies in financial markets. In this paper we study economic rationales for categorizing coarsely. We think of the way...

Having information about an uncertain event is crucial for informed decision-making. This paper introduces a simple … framework in which 1) a principal uses the reported beliefs of multiple agents to make a decision and 2) the agents reporting a … belief are affected by the decision. Naturally, the question arises how the principal can incentivize the agents to report …

Representing ambiguity in the laboratory using a Bingo Blower (which is transparent and not manipulable) and asking the subjects a series of allocation questions (which are more efficient than pairwise choice questions), we obtain data from which we can estimate by maximum likelihood methods...

In many decisions, we are not only uncertain about the predicted outcomes of decision alternatives but also about … environmental decision problems and we apply it to a hypothetical multi-criteria decision regarding coral reef management with … predictive uncertainties of the reef system attributes were more relevant. For two perspectives, the decision was largely …
