Density Based Regression for Inhomogeneous Data : Application to Lottery Experiments
Kontek, Krzysztof - 2010
This paper presents a regression procedure for inhomogeneous data characterized by varying variance, skewness and kurtosis or by an unequal amount of data over the estimation domain. The concept is based first on the estimation of the densities of an observed variable for given values of...

Gender wage gaps and risky vs. secure employment : an experimental analysis
Jung, Seeun; Choe, Chung; Oaxaca, Ronald L. - 2016
In addition to discrimination, market power, and human capital, gender differences in risk preferences might also … contribute to observed gender wage gaps. We conduct laboratory experiments in which subjects choose between a risky (in terms of … more likely than men to select the secure job, and these job choices accounted for between 40% and 77% of the gender wage …

Evolution, heritable risk and skewness loving
Heller, Yuval; Robson, Arthur John - In: Theoretical economics : TE ; an open access journal in … 16 (2021) 2, pp. 403-424
Our understanding of risk preferences can be sharpened by considering their evolutionary basis. The existing literature has focused on two sources of risk: idiosyncratic risk and aggregate risk. We introduce a new source of risk, heritable risk, in which there is a positive correlation between...

Robust Estimation of Wage Dispersion with Censored Data : An Application to Occupational Earnings Risk and Risk Attitudes
Pollmann, Daniel; Dohmen, Thomas; Palm, Franz C. - 2013
We present a semiparametric method to estimate group-level dispersion, which is particularly effective in the presence of censored data. We apply this procedure to obtain measures of occupation-specific wage dispersion using top-coded administrative wage data from the German IAB Employment...

Estimating Risk Preferences in the Presence of Bifurcated Wealth Dynamics : Do We Misattribute Dynamic Risk Responses to Static Risk Aversion?
Lybbert, Travis J. - 2011
Estimating risk preferences is tricky because controlling for confounding factors is difficult. Omitting or imperfectly controlling for these factors can attribute too much observable behavior to risk aversion and bias estimated preferences. Agents often modify risky decisions in response to...
