In the studies of decision making under risk and time, an increasingly important question is whether the utility representations should be the same for both circumstances. This study aims to test the separation between risk preference and time preference in a controlled laboratory setting, where...

The superiority of the models is also examined.

We investigate the decision of experimental subjects to incur the risk of revealing personal private information to other participants. We do so by using a novel method to generate personal information that reliably induces privacy concerns in the laboratory. We show that individual decisions to...

This paper studies the role of goal bracketing to attenuate time inconsistency. When setting non-binding goals for a multi-stage project, an agent must also decide how and when to evaluate himself against such goals. In particular, he can bracket broadly by setting an aggregate goal for the...

This paper presents a new descriptive theory for decision making under risk, called adapting theory, which deals with … function of payoffs, our theory provides a novel and unified account of many empirical phenomena. Our theory also yields new … predictions, including some that distinguish it from prospect theory and the salience theory. At the same time, our theory can be …
