We report an experiment on a decision task by SAMUELSON and BAZERMAN (1985). Subjects submit a bid for an item with an …

weighting functions for the risky prospects placed 6 and 12 months into the future. The experiment is used to test whether … decision errors can explain or be highly correlated with hyperbolic discounting and non-linear (inverse-S-shaped) probability … weighting. We find evidence that decision errors are strongly correlated with hyperbolic discounting but do not find that …

We test the effects of dual processing differences in both individual traits and decision states on risk taking. In an … experiment with a large representative sample (N = 1,832), we vary whether risky choices are induced to be based on either … emotion or reason, while simultaneously measuring individual decision-making traits. Our results show that decision …

Recently proposed models of risky choice imply systematic violations of transitivity of preference. Five studies explored whether people show patterns of intransitivity predicted by four descriptive models. To distinguish ?true? violations from those produced by ?error,? a model was fit in which...

Prospect theory (PT) is the dominant descriptive theory of decision making under risk today. For the modeling of … experiments. 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 examines how risk behavior in the limelight differs from that in anonymity. In two separate experiments we find that subjects are more risk averse in the limelight. However, risky choices are similarly path dependent in the different treatments. Under both limelight and anonymous...

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...
