Decision Making Under Uncertainty : The Relation between Economic Preferences and Psychological Personality Traits
Schröder, David - 2020
Both economists and psychologists are interested in understanding decision making under uncertainty. Yet, they rely on different concepts to analyse human behaviour: Economists use economic preference parameters rooted in utility theory, while psychologists use personality traits to describe...

Decision-making traits and states as determinants of risky choices
Gärtner, Manja; Tinghög, Gustav; Västfjäll, Daniel - 2019
We test the effects of dual processing differences in both individual traits and decision states on risk taking. In an … experiment with a large representative sample (N = 1,832), we vary whether risky choices are induced to be based on either … emotion or reason, while simultaneously measuring individual decision-making traits. Our results show that decision …

Dynamically Optimized Sequential Experimentation (DOSE) for estimating economic preference parameters
Chapman, Jonathan; Snowberg, Erik; Wang, Stephanie; … - 2024
We introduce DOSE - Dynamically Optimized Sequential Experimentation - to elicit preference parameters. DOSE starts with a model of preferences and a prior over the parameters of that model, then dynamically chooses a customized question sequence for each participant according to an...

Prominent Numbers, Indices and Ratios in Exchange Rate Determination and Financial Crashes: in Economists’ Models, in the Field and in the Laboratory
Pope, Robin; Selten, Reinhard; Kube, Sebastian; von … - 2009
The prior paper in this sequel, Pope (2009) introduced the concept of a nominalist heuristic, defined as a focus on prominent numbers, indices or ratios. In this paper the concept is used to show three things in how scientists and practitioners analyse and evaluate to decide (conclude). First,...

When rational decision-making becomes irrational : a critical assessment and re-conceptualization of intuition effectiveness
Julmi, Christian - In: Business research 12 (2019) 1, pp. 291-314
Intuition can lead to more effective decision-making than analysis under certain conditions. This assumption can be regarded as common sense. However, dominant research streams on intuition effectiveness in decision-making conceptualize intuition inadequately, because intuition is considered...
