We report a portfolio-choice experiment that enables us to estimate parametric models of ambiguity aversion at the level of the individual subject. The assets are Arrow securities that correspond to three states of nature, where one state is risky with known probability and two states are...

Consequently, we can properly identify properties of utility and perform … new tests of prospect theory. We implemented our method in an experiment and obtained support for prospect theory. Utility …
