The first presentation draws attention to inequality in payoffs, the second to collective risk. We find that … risk changes choice only marginally and not significantly, though in the direction of collective risk reduction. We …

We conducted a set of experiments to compare the effect of ambiguity in single person decisions and games. Our results suggest that ambiguity has a bigger impact in games than in ball and urn problems. We find that ambiguity has the opposite effect in games of strategic substitutes and...

In an information cascade experiment participants are confronted with artificial predecessors predicting in line with the BHW model (Bikchandani et al., 1992). Using the BDM (Becker et al., 1964) mechanism we study participants' probability perceptions based on maximum prices for participating...

We report an experiment in which subjects are not indifferent between real-money lotteries implemented with randomization devices that are equivalent under the Reduction Axiom. Instead choice behavior is consistent with subjective distortion of conditional probability, and this persists in...

Social lotteries are lotteries that are played along with someone else. The experimental literature indicates that risk …. We consider whether showing own payoff as a share of the total payoff changes risk preferences. Showing total payoffs … explicitly draws attention to risk at the level of the pair and may thus moderate dislike for negatively correlated lotteries, as …
