A theoretical and experimental appraisal of five risk elicitation methods
Crosetto, Paolo; Filippin, Antonio - 2013
We perform a comparative analysis of five incentivized tasks used to elicit risk preferences. Theoretically, we compare the elicitation methods in terms of completeness of the range of the estimates as well as their precision, the likelihood of triggering loss aversion, and problems arising when...

On the stability of preferences: Repercussions of entrepreneurship on risk attitudes
Brachert, Mattias; Hyll, Walter - 2014
The majority of empirical studies make use of the assumption of stable preferences in searching for a relationship between risk attitude and the decision to become and stay an entrepreneur. Yet empirical evidence on this relationship is limited. In this paper, we show that entry into...

Entry into entrepreneurship, endogenous adaption of risk attitudes and entrepreneurial survival
Brachert, Matthias; Hyll, Walter; Titze, Mirko - 2014
Empirical studies use the assumption of stability in individual risk attitudes when searching for a relationship between attitude to risk and the decision to become and survive as an entrepreneur. We show that risk attitudes do not remain stable but face endogenous adaption when starting a new...

The Impact of Risk Attitudes on Entrepreneurial Survival
Caliendo, Marco; Fossen, Frank M.; Kritikos, Alexander S. - 2008
Risk attitudes have an impact on not only the decision to become an entrepreneur but also the survival and failure rates of entrepreneurs. Whereas recent research underpins the theoretical proposition of a positive correlation between risk attitudes and the decision to become an entrepreneur,...

Why are educated and risk-loving persons more mobile across regions?
Bauernschuster, Stefan; Falck, Oliver; Heblich, Stephan; … - 2012
Why are better educated and more risk-friendly persons more mobile across regions? To answer this question, we use micro data on internal migrants from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) 2000-2006 and merge this information with a unique proxy for region-pair-specific cultural distances...
