Which measures predict risk taking in a multi-stage controlled decision process?
Bachmann, Kremena; Hens, Thorsten; Stössel, Remo - 2017
We assess the ability of different risk profiling measures to predict risk taking along a multi-stage decision process. The latter involves decisions under ambiguity, decisions under risk, decisions after gaining experience and decisions after receiving outcome information on previous decisions....

Insurance Demand for Disaster-Type Risks and the Separation of Attitudes Toward Risk and Ambiguity : An Experimental Study
Marielle, Brunette - 2011
This article presents the results of an experiment designed to test theoretical predictions about the impact of public … compensation schemes and ambiguity on insurance and self-insurance decisions. Consistent with theory, we find that government … compensation programs. For example, results from our experiment confirm the prediction that the WTP for insurance is smaller under …

Income risk, precautionary saving, and loss aversion : an empirical test
Ibanez, Marcela; Schneider, Sebastian O. - 2021
This paper empirically examines the behavioral precautionary saving hypothesis by Koszegi and Rabin (2009) stating that uncertainty about future income triggers saving because of loss aversion. We extend their theoretical analysis to also consider the internal margin, i.e., the strength, of loss...

The likelihood of divorce and the riskiness of financial decisions
Stark, Oded; Szczygielski, Krzysztof - 2019
We link causally the riskiness of men's management of their finances with the probability of their experiencing a divorce. Our point of departure is that when comparing single men to married men, the former manage their finances in a more aggressive (that is, riskier) manner. Assuming that...
