We investigate the effect of salient green self-image on the willingness to participate in online volunteering for an environmental cause. Our experimental study shows that when the information about participants’ own perceived consciousness and responsibility is made salient, the likelihood...

Purpose: In this paper, we study the effect of induced positive and negative moods on traders' willingness to trade (pay and accept) in experimental asset markets. Design/methodology/approach: We conduct experimental asset markets where subjects undergo a mood induction procedure prior to...

In this paper we study the effect of induced positive mood on price patterns in experimental asset markets. We conduct experimental asset markets where subjects go through a mood induction procedure prior to trade. After the subjects are induced with positive affect, they can trade an...

There are two regularities we have learned from experimental studies of choice under risk. The first is that the majority of people weigh objective probabilities non-linearly. The second regularity, although less commonly acknowledged, is that there is a large amount of heterogeneity in how...

This paper tests whether strategic uncertainty employs circuits in the brain that encode risk and utility, or circuits that are involved in Theory of Mind (ToM). We compare participants’ decisions in a stag-hunt game with an equivalent choice between Bernoulli lotteries where the probabilities...
