The paper examines in the laboratory how risk-taking situations are affected by the conditions of observing other's choices (observer) and being observed by others (source). By extending Yechiam et al.'s (2008) experimental design to the domain of gains we find that observers are more probable...

Asset integration, risk taking and loss aversion in the laboratory
Morrison, William G.; Oxoby, Robert J. - 2019
We report on a laboratory experiment testing for the presence of loss aversion, as separate from risk aversion, utilizing an asset integration protocol designed to ensure that a loss of cash provided by the experimenter is viewed as a real loss by experimental participants. Our experimental...
