We examine whether the way individuals randomize between options captures their decision confidence. In two experiments in which subjects faced pairs of options (a lottery and a varying sure payment), we allowed subjects to choose randomization probabilities according to which they would receive...

The relationship between decision-making and risk carries significant implications, particularly within the context of … frameworks are not sufficiently predictive or comprehensive. Recognizing the foundational elements of risk is crucial for problem … the risk-taking behaviors of these banks. We specifically examined the behaviors both before (ex-ante) and after (ex …

This study explores how people learn and adapt their risk preferences using different elicitation methods, challenging … the neoclassical theory that suggests preferences are fixed. Instead, we show that preferences can change. However, we aim … to explain whether the observed changes are due to a real change in the measure, i.e. individuals' risk preferences, or …

view trade in goods as implicit exports/imports of risk and risk aversion. Specifically, we show that a relatively “risk …-aversion abundant” country is more likely to be a net importer of the product – hence an importer of low risk-aversion. Similarly, a … “relatively high-risk abundant” country is more likely to be the net exporter of the product - hence an importer of low risk. We …

Old problems of the mathematical description of the economical behavior of a man are briefly reviewed. They are the comparison of choices of a man between uncertain and sure games and the radically different behavior of a man in different domains. The proposed solution of the problems consists...
