Patient Preferences and Treatment Thresholds under Diagnostic Risk – An Economic Laboratory Experiment
Krieger, Miriam; Mayrhofer, Thomas - 2012
We study risk aversion and prudence in medical treatment decisions. In a laboratory experiment, we investigate the frequency and intensity of second- and third-order risk preferences, as well as the effect of the medical decision context. Risk preferences are assessed through treatment...

Economic Behavior Under Alcohol Influence : An Experiment on Time, Risk, and Social Preferences
Corazzini, Luca - 2014
We report results from an incentivized laboratory experiment to provide controlled evidence on the causal effects of alcohol consumption on risk preferences, time perception and altruism. Our design allows disentangling the pharmacological effects of alcohol intoxication from those mediated by...

The Role of Schools in Transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 Virus: Quasi-Experimental Evidence from Germany
von Bismarck-Osten, Clara; Borusyak, Kirill; Schönberg, Uta - 2020
This paper considers the role of school closures in the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. To isolate the impact of the closures from other containment measures and identify a causal effect, we exploit variation in the start and end dates of the summer school and fall holiday across the 16 federal...
