We conduct an experiment to (i) measure the structure of preferences over lotteries and (ii) test for stability of the probability transformation functions over different choice sets. The design is based on manipulations of the 'probability triangle' A disaggregated nonparametric analysis in...

One constraint we face as economists is not being able to observe all the relevant variables required to test our theories or make policy prescriptions. Laboratory techniques allow us to convert many variables (such as beliefs) that are unobservable in the field into observables. This paper...

In this paper we use a laboratory setting to manipulate our subjects’ beliefs about the cognitive levels of the players they are playing against. We show that in the context of the 2/3 guessing game, individual choices crucially depend on their beliefs about the level of others. Hence, a...
