Models of generalized recursive utility are becoming increasingly common as alternatives to discounted expected utility theory. These models have successfully explained many so-called, “anomalies” in field data, but often imply that agents have a preference over the timing of uncertainty...

In the first experiment, we elicit the value and probability weighting functions both under known and unknown … probability transformations rather than utility transformations. In the second experiment, we examine the effects of an increase …

This paper investigates if and how other-regarding preferences governing giving decisions in dictator games are affected in risky environments in which the payoff of the recipient is random. We demonstrate that, whenever the risk is actuarially neutral, the donation of dictators with a purely ex...
