This paper develops an agent-based model of learning process that systematically organizes actual choice behavior along the path to equilibrium. The model relies on expected utility maximization to provide directions for economic agents to make choices at the margin toward their ends in adaptive...

We first elicit measures of individual preferences and then manipulate the … differing complexity between the two formats rather than non-standard preferences. …

This paper investigates how framing manipulations affect the quantity and quality of decisions. In a field experiment in elementary schools, 1.377 pupils are randomly assigned to one of three conditions in a multiple-choice test: (i) gain frame (Control), (ii) loss frame (Loss) and (iii) gain...

Ambiguous prospects are ubiquitous in social and economic life, but the psychological foundations of behavior under ambiguity are still not well understood. One of the most robust empirical regularities is the strong correlation between attitudes towards ambiguity and compound risk which...
