Entry into entrepreneurship, endogenous adaption of risk attitudes and entrepreneurial survival
Brachert, Matthias; Hyll, Walter; Titze, Mirko - 2014
Empirical studies use the assumption of stability in individual risk attitudes when searching for a relationship between attitude to risk and the decision to become and survive as an entrepreneur. We show that risk attitudes do not remain stable but face endogenous adaption when starting a new...

On the Stability of Preferences : Repercussions of Entrepreneurship on Risk Attitudes
Brachert, Matthias - 2014
The majority of empirical studies make use of the assumption of stable preferences in searching for a relationship between risk attitude and the decision to become and stay an entrepreneur. Yet empirical evidence on this relationship is limited. In this paper, we show that entry into...

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...
