Trust Games Measure Trust
Houser, Daniel; Schunk, Daniel; Winter, Joachim - 2006
The relationship between trust and risk is a topic of enduring interest. Although there are substantial differences … in the widely-used “trust game” actually measure trust, or instead reveal more about risk attitudes. It is critical to … cogent evidence on the relationship between trust and risk in “trust” games. Subjects in our experiment participate either in …

Measuring price risk aversion through indirect utility functions : a laboratory experiment
Zeytoon-Nejad, Ali - In: Games 13 (2022) 4, pp. 1-43
The present paper introduces a theoretical framework through which the degree of risk aversion with respect uncertain prices can be measured through the context of the indirect utility function (IUF) using a lab experiment. First, the paper introduces the main elements of the duality theory (DT)...

For love or reward? : characterising preference for giving to parents in an experimental setting
Porter, Maria; Adams, Abi - 2014
This paper examines the motivation for intergenerational transfers between adult children and their parents, and the nature of preferences for such giving behaviour, in an experimental setting. Participants in our experiment play a series of dictator games with parents and strangers, in which we...

A social heuristics hypothesis for the stag hunt : fast- and slow-thinking hunters in the lab
Belloc, Marianna; Bilancini, Ennio; Boncinelli, Leonardo; … - 2017
In this paper, we analyze the role of intuitive versus deliberative thinking in stag hunt games. To do so we, first, provide a conceptual framework predicting that, under the assumption that stag is the ruling social convention in real life interactions, players who make their choices fast and...

The Relationship Between Risk Attitudes and Heuristics in Search Tasks: A Laboratory Experiment
Schunk, Daniel; Winter, Joachim - 2007
Experimental studies of search behavior suggest that individuals stop searching earlier than predicted by the optimal, risk-neutral stopping rule. Such behavior could be generated by two different classes of decision rules: rules that are optimal conditional on utility functions departing from...

Donations, risk attitudes and time preferences : a study on altruism in primary school children
Angerer, Silvia; Glätzle-Rützler, Daniela; … - 2014
We study with a sample of 1,070 primary school children, aged seven to eleven years, how altruism in a donation experiment is related to children's risk attitudes and intertemporal choices. Examining such a relationship is motivated by theories of reciprocal altruism that provide a cornerstone...

Gender and redistribution : experimental evidence
Buser, Thomas; Putterman, Louis G.; Weele, Joël J. van der - 2016
Gender differences in voting patterns and political attitudes towards redistribution are well-documented. The experimental gender literature suggests several plausible behavioral explanations behind these differences, relating to gender differences in confidence concerning future relative income...
