How does risk tolerance vary with stake size? This important question cannot be adequately answered if framing effects … coherent change in relative risk aversion is observed for losses. The increase in relative risk aversion over gains cannot be …

Most decisions concerning (self-)insurance and self-protection have to be taken in situations in which a) the effort exerted precedes the moment uncertainty realises, and b) the probabilities of future states of the world are not perfectly known. By integrating these two characteristics in a...

We investigate what it means for one act to be more ambiguous than another. The question is evidently analogous to asking what makes one prospect riskier than another, but beliefs are neither objective nor representable by a unique probability. Our starting point is an abstract class of...

We report an experiment where each subject's ambiguity sensitivity is measured by an ambiguity premium, a concept … analogous to and comparable with a risk premium. In our design, some tasks feature known objective risks and others uncertainty … ambiguity premia; and that, on average, ambiguity sensitivity is about as strong as risk sensitivity. …

Players may categorize the strategies available to them. In many games there are different ways to categorize one's strategies (different frames) and which ones players use has implications for the outcomes realized. This paper proposes a model of agents who learn which frames to use through...
