Men, Women and Risk Aversion : Experimental Evidence
Eckel, Catherine C.; Grossman, Philip J. - 2011
This paper reviews the results from experimental measures of risk aversion for evidence of systematic differences in the behavior of men and women. In most studies, women are found to be more averse to risk than men. Studies with contextual frames show less consistent results

Robust Inference in Risk Elicitation Tasks
Andersson, Ola - 2018
Recent experimental evidence suggests that noisy behavior correlates strongly with cognitive ability. This puts previous studies that found a negative relation between cognitive ability and risk aversion into perspective and in particular raises the question of how to achieve robust inference in...

Classifying Behaviors in Risky Choices
Kontek, Krzysztof - 2010
This paper presents a nonparametric approach to classification of data from lottery experiments. Using very basic mathematical tools the paper endeavors to answer the questions: How to determine the "average" subject in a group? How to find a subject presenting the most similar behavior to a...

Repeated Experience and Consistent Risk Preferences
Charness, Gary; Chemaya, Nir - 2023
Economists have developed various methods to elicit risk preferences, which can help forecast decision-making in risky scenarios. However, risk elicitation can be complex, and there remain unresolved challenges. Our research demonstrates that repeated exposure to risk elicitation tasks, such as...
