Lives or Livelihoods? Perceived Tradeoffs and Public Demand for Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions

Settele, Sonja; Shupe, Cortnie - 2020

We study the role of cost-benefit considerations in driving public acceptance of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) during the Covid-19 pandemic. In a large-scale online survey experiment with a representative sample of the US population, we introduce exogenous variation in the perceived...

Foundations of ambiguity models under symmetry: α-MEU and smooth ambiguity

Klibanoff, Peter; Mukerji, Sujoy; Seo, Kyoungwon; … - 2021

The α-MEU model and the smooth ambiguity model are two popular models in decision making under ambiguity. However, the axiomatic foundations of these two models are not completely understood. We provide axiomatic foundations of these models in a symmetric setting with a product state space...

Climate change concerns and information spillovers from socially-connected friends

Mayer, Maximilian - 2023

This paper studies the role of social connections in shaping individuals' concerns about climate change. I combine granular climate data, region-level social network data and survey responses for 24 European countries in order to document large information spillovers. Individuals become more...

A note on salience of own preferences and the consensus effect

Dohmen, Thomas; Quercia, Simone; Willrodt, Jana - 2023

the prevalence of their own values and preferences when forming beliefs about others' values and preferences, depends on … the salience of own preferences. We manipulate salience by varying the order of elicitation of preferences and beliefs …

Associative Memory and Belief Formation

Enke, Benjamin; Schwerter, Frederik; Zimmermann, Florian - 2019

This paper experimentally studies the role of associative memory for belief formation. Real-world information signals are often embedded in memorable contexts. Thus, today’s news, and the contexts they are embedded in, may cue the selective retrieval of similar past news and hence contribute...

The Causal Effect of Cultural Identity on Cooperation

Butler, Jeffrey V.; Fehr, Dietmar - 2021

components of culture: preferences and beliefs. Adopting the view that culture is one aspect of an individual’s multi …; and ii) the capacity for culture to affect beliefs by randomly providing previous-session cooperation-rate information … beliefs. In particular, we find that culture’s effects through beliefs are as important as its effects through preferences. …

Symmetry axioms and perceived ambiguity

Klibanoff, Peter; Mukerji, Sujoy; Seo, Kyoungwon - 2017

Since at least de Finetti [7], preference symmetry assumptions have played an important role in models of decision making under uncertainty. In the current paper, we explore (1) the relationship between the symmetry assumption of Klibanoff, Mukerji and Seo (KMS) [21] and alternative symmetry...
