Andreoni and Sprenger (in press) report evidence that distinct utility functions govern choices under certainty and risk. I investigate the robustness of their result to the experimental design. I find that the effect disappears completely when a multiple price list is used instead of a convex...

Prospect theory (PT) is the dominant descriptive theory of decision making under risk today. For the modeling of … experiments. In the first experiment, we elicit the value and probability weighting functions both under known and unknown … probability transformations rather than utility transformations.

This paper theoretically and experimentally studies decision-making in risky and social environments. We explore the interdependence of individual risk attitudes and social preferences in form of inequality aversion as two decisive behavioral determinants in such contexts. Our model and the data...
