Intuition and reasoning in choosing ambiguous and risky lotteries
Bergheim, Ralf; Roos, Michael W. M. - 2013
This paper focuses on information acquisition and individual decision making in ambiguous situations and presents a novel experimental design which may help to tackle open questions from a fresh perspective. Instead of giving subjects the choice between risky and ambiguous Ellsberg urns, we let...

Peer effects in risky choices among adolescents
Lucks, Konstantin E.; Lührmann, Melanie; Winter, Joachim - 2017
This paper examines the distributional impact of increases to out-of-work transfers, increases to work-contingent transfers, and increases in higher rates of income tax over the whole of life. We find that, in contrast to what is implied by standard snapshot analyses, increases to...

Does payoff equity facilitate coordination? : a test of Schelling's conjecture
López-Pérez, Raúl; Pintér, Ágnes; Kiss, Hubert J. - 2013
Starting from Schelling (1960), several game theorists have conjectured that payoff equity might facilitate coordination in normal-form games with multiple equilibria - the more equitable equilibrium might be selected either because fairness makes it focal or because many individuals dislike...

Impact of Formal Climate Risk Transfer Mechanisms on Risk-Aversion : Empirical Evidence from Rural Ethiopia
Haile, Kaleab K. - 2019
This study examines the effect of smallholder farmers' access to a formal climate risk transfer mechanism on their risk preferences. Survey and experimental data were collected from smallholder farmers that have access to weather index-based crop insurance (WICI) in Ethiopia. We use an...

Optimal Stopping with General Risk Preferences
Duraj, Jetlir - 2020
We give a full characterization of the continuation and stopping regions of optimal stopping of diffusions. We consider separately the case of a naive agent who is unaware of the possible time inconsistency in her behavior and the case of a sophisticated agent who is fully aware of such an...
