Dynamic decision structure and risk taking
Eichberger, Jürgen; Güth, Werner; Müller, Wieland - Sonderforschungsbereich 373, Quantifikation und … - 1999
This paper investigates the behaviour in repeated decision situations. The experimental study shows that subjects show low or no risk-aversion, but put very high value on the opportunity to sell the lottery in every stage of the decision problem. There is evidence that risk attitudes depend on...

Personality, weak signals, and workplace relevant morality
Dickinson, David L.; Masclet, David - 2024
Employers use applicant signals to help solve an asymmetric information problem in organizations. In this paper, we examine the impact of validated Dark versus Light personality traits on incentivized behaviors important to organizations: task effort, honesty, and reciprocity. A second study...

The Cost of Being Too Patient
Giuliano, Paola; Sapienza, Paola - 2020
We study the cost of being too patient on happiness. We find that the relationship between patience and various … measures of subjective well-being is hump- shaped: it exists an optimal amount of patience that maximizes happiness. Beyond … this optimal level, higher levels of patience have a negative impact on well-being. …

The method of endogenous gridpoints for solving dynamic stochastic optimization problems
Carroll, Christopher D. - 2005
This paper introduces a method for solving numerical dynamic stochastic optimization problems that avoids rootfinding operations. The idea is applicable to many microeconomic and macroeconomic problems, including life cycle, buffer-stock, and stochastic growth problems. Software is provided.
