the external validity of standard experiments: Sampling from a narrowly defined population of students ("experimenter …-induced selection") and self-selection of participants into the experiment. We find that both types of selection lead to a sample of …, sampling from a student population leads to lower estimates of average risk aversion and loss aversion parameters. Furthermore …

The population of most developed societies is graying. As life expectancy increases and the large baby-boom generation approaches retirement age, this has critical consequences for maintaining a high standard of living and the sustainability of pension systems. In the light of these labor-force...

Gender differences in risk attitudes are frequently observed, although recent literature has shown that they are context dependent rather than ubiquitous. In this paper we try to rationalize the heterogeneity of results investigating experimentally whether the presence of a safe option among the...
