We investigate risk-sharing without commitment by designing an experiment to match a simple model of voluntary … implications of risk-sharing without commitment. In particular, we find strong evidence of risk-sharing and reciprocal behavior …, where transfers are higher with a higher continuation probability and with a higher degree of risk aversion. However …

We report in this paper the result of three experiments on risk, ambiguity and time attitude. The first two differed by … elicitation of risk, time and ambiguity attitudes and the relationship among these (model free) measures. We find that on the … cautions manner in the risk and ambiguity domain. When we drop this population from the sample, the correlation between our …

Are poor people more or less likely to take money risks than wealthy folks? We find that risk attraction is more … prevalent among the wealthy when the amounts of money at risk are small (not surprising, since ten dollars is a smaller amount … for a wealthy person than for a poor one), but, interestingly, for the larger amounts of money at risk the fraction of the …

Our results vindicate Daniel Bernoulli’s view that risk aversion is the dominant …We experimentally question the assertion of Prospect Theory that people display risk attraction in choices involving … attitude, But, contrary to the Bernoulli-inspired canonical expected utility theory, we do find frequent risk attraction for …

In a laboratory experiment, subjects played ten two-person 3x3 constant sum games and stated beliefs about the frequencies of play by their opponents. Contrary to previous experimental evidence, game-theoretical predictions work well: 80% of actions coincided with Nash equilibrium, subjects were...

risk-averse (risk-loving) but unbiased bargainer is empirically indistinguishable from what one could get with risk …-neutrality and pessimism (optimism). This paper reports data from a controlled bargaining experiment where risk preferences and … beliefs are both measured in order to assess their relative importance in bargaining outcomes. The average lab subject is risk …

This study presents experimental data on pre-commitment and flexibility where monetary rewards are delivered with an actual delay. Preference for pre-commitment is defined as willingness to pay a cost to restrict the size of the choice set available in the future. Preference for flexibility is...
