loss aversion or by violations of the Reduction Axiom. We validate the task and test its robustness in a large …-scale experiment. Choices react significantly to the stakes and to the size of the choice set. Our experiment rationalizes the gender … gap that often characterizes choices under uncertainty by means of a higher loss rather than risk aversion. -- Risk …

We report on a laboratory experiment testing for the presence of loss aversion, as separate from risk aversion …, utilizing an asset integration protocol designed to ensure that a loss of cash provided by the experimenter is viewed as a real … loss by experimental participants. Our experimental design augments the Holt-Laury risk preference elicitation methodology …

We implemented our method in an experiment and obtained support for prospect theory. Utility … was concave for gains and convex for losses and there was substantial loss aversion. Both utility and loss aversion were …

Incentivized experiments in which individuals receive monetary rewards according to the outcomes of their decisions are regarded as the gold standard for preference elicitation in experimental economics. These task-related real payments are considered necessary to reveal subjects' "true...

Higher order risk preferences are important determinants of economic behaviour. We apply behavioural insights to this topic: we measure higher order risk preferences for pure gains and pure losses by controlling the reference point. We find a reflection effect not only for second order risk...

Ambiguity aversion has shown to be economically relevant and has been proposed as an explanation for many phenomena in economics and finance. While the literature has suggested a large variety of elicitation methods to measure ambiguity preferences, their consistency and reliability it is rarely...
