The Impact of Social Value Orientation and Risk Attitudes on Trust and Reciprocity
Kanagaretnam, Kiridaran; Mestelman, Stuart; Nainar, Khalid - Department of Economics, McMaster University - 2009
Prior experimental studies provide evidence that the levels of trust and reciprocity are highly susceptible to … and Livingstone (1973) and Liebrand (1984) and risk preferences can help to account for the variability of trust and … trustworthiness. We use the Berg et al. (1995) investment game to generate indices of trust and reciprocity. Prior to their …

Competition and subsequent risk-taking behaviour : heterogeneity across gender and outcomes
Filippin, Antonio; Gioia, Francesca - 2017
This paper studies if competition affects subsequent risk-taking behaviour by means of a laboratory experiment that manipulates the degree of competitiveness of the environment under equivalent monetary incentives. We find that competition increases risk aversion, especially for males, but not...

Safe options induce gender differences in risk attitudes
Crosetto, Paolo; Filippin, Antonio - 2017
Gender differences in risk attitudes are frequently observed, although recent literature has shown that they are context dependent rather than ubiquitous. In this paper we try to rationalize the heterogeneity of results investigating experimentally whether the presence of a safe option among the...

Gender and the labor market: What have we learned from field and lab experiments?
Azmat, Ghazala; Petrongolo, Barbara - 2014
We discuss the contribution of the experimental literature to the understanding of both traditional and previously unexplored dimensions of gender differences and discuss their bearings on labor market outcomes. Experiments have offered new findings on gender discrimination, and while they have...

What's the risk from competing? : competition aversion and the gender wage gap
Choe, Chung; Jung, Seeun; Oaxaca, Ronald L. - 2022
Laboratory experiments involving a real effort task are conducted to examine the importance of gender differences in competition aversion for generating gender wage gaps. Cross-subject design treatment and control experiments suggest that gender differences in risk aversion play no significant...

Gender and the labour market: evidence from experiments
Azmat, Ghazala; Petrongolo, Barbara - Centre for Economic Performance, LSE - 2014
Lab experiments are an increasingly valuable tool for understanding differences in how men and women are treated in the labour market. Dr Ghazala Azmat and Professor Barbara Petrongolo explore what has been learned about the extent to which differences in men and women's pay and employment...
