Anticipated Regret or Endowment effect? A Reconsideration of Exchange Asymmetry in Laboratory Experiments
Ratan, Anmol - Department of Econometrics and Business Statistics, … - 2013
In simple exchange experiments participants have been reported to trade their endowments with similar objects less frequently than predicted by the neoclassical demand theory. Recent research has indicated that the experimental support for exchange asymmetry is fragile in alternative...

Social Reference Points and Risk Taking
Schwerter, Frederik - University of Bonn, Germany - 2013
This study test whether social reference points impact individual risk taking. In a laboratory experiment, decision makers observe the earnings of a peer subject before making a risky choice. We exogenously manipulate the peer earnings across two treatments. We find a signicant treatment effect...

Confucianism and Preferences: Evidence from Lab Experiments in Taiwan and China
Liu, Elaine M.; Meng, Juanjuan; Wang, Joseph Tao-yi - 2013
This paper investigates how Confucianism affects individual decision making in Taiwan and in China. We found that Chinese subjects in our experiments became less accepting of Confucian values, such that they became significantly more risk loving, less loss averse, and more impatient after being...
