Impatience and Uncertainty: Experimental Decisions Predict Adolecents' Field Behavior

Sutter, Matthias; Kocher, Martin G.; Rützler, Daniela; … - 2010

We study risk attitudes, ambiguity attitudes, and time preferences of 661 children and adolescents, aged ten to …) and are less likely to save money. Experimental measures for risk and ambiguity attitudes are only weak predictors of …

Trust and trustworthiness under the prospect theory: A field experiment in Vietnam

Nguyen, Quang; Villeval, Marie-Claire; Xu, Hui - 2012

We study the influence of risk and time preferences on trust and trustworthiness by conducting a field experiment in …. We find that while probability sensitivity or risk aversion do not affect trust, loss aversion influences trust … indirectly by lowering the expectations of return. Also, more risk averse and less present biased participants are found to be …

Waiting to Choose

Imas, Alex; Kuhn, Michael A.; Mironova, Vera - 2016

We study the role of heuristic versus deliberative processing in intertemporal choice. Using studies in the Democratic Republic of Congo and an online labor market, we show that waiting periods –designed to prompt deliberation by temporally separating news about choice sets from choices...

Reassessing Qualitative Self-Assessments and Experimental Validation

Chapman, Jonathan; Ortoleva, Pietro; Snowberg, Erik; … - 2025

Qualitative self-assessments of economic preferences have recently gained popularity, often supported by experimental validation, a method that links them to choices in incentivized elicitations. We illustrate theoretically that experimental validation may fail to produce reliable new measures....

Scenario-based satisficing in saving: a theoretical and experimental analysis

Güth, Werner; Levati, Maria Vittoria; Ploner, Matteo - 2007

Contrary to the models of deterministic life cycle saving, we take it for granted that uncertainty of one's future is the essential problem of saving decisions. However, unlike the stochastic life cycle models, we capture this crucial uncertainty by a non-Bayesian scenario-based satisficing...

Estimating Present Bias and Sophistication over Effort and Money

Cerrone, Claudia; Chakraborty, Anujit; Kim, Hyok Jung; … - 2023

We design and implement the first real-effort experiment that can jointly estimate present bias (Ø) and sophistication (bØ), with separate preference parameters for money (Øm, bØm) and effort (Øe, bØe). In our study, participants chose to (and predicted to) complete 14% (and 10%) fewer...
