The nature of risk preferences : evidence from insurance choices
Barseghyan, Levon; Molinari, Francesca; O'Donoghue, Ted; … - 2011
We use data on households' deductible choices in auto and home insurance to estimate a structural model of risky choice that incorporates "standard" risk aversion (concave utility over final wealth), loss aversion, and nonlinear probability weighting. Our estimates indicate that nonlinear...

Risk attitudes, development, and growth : macroeconomic evidence from experiments in 30 countries
Vieider, Ferdinand M.; Chmura, Thorsten; Martinsson, Peter - 2012
We measure risk attitudes in 30 different countries in a controlled, incentivized experiment (N = 3025). At the macroeconomic level, we find a strong and highly significant negative correlation between the risk tolerance of a country and income per capita. This gives rise to a paradox, seen that...
