We relax assumptions on individual risk preference, and set two theoretical rules for portfolio choices: either … minimize or maximize risk, for any return. Risk is modeled by four alternative formulas. We empirically test these rules by … uniquely consider 'money'; or they experience a 'subjective' perception of money. We find a large dominance of risk …

Heterogeneous beliefs among market participants can lead to questionable speculative trading that goes beyond any risk … pricing for ambiguous contracts, without compromising legitimate risk-hedging activities. While Arrow-Debreu equilibria …

The latter involves decisions under ambiguity, decisions under risk, decisions after gaining experience and decisions …We assess the ability of different risk profiling measures to predict risk taking along a multi-stage decision process … after receiving outcome information on previous decisions. We find that in all decisions risk taking can be predicted by …

We propose the Virtual Bingo Blower (VBB) as a way to generate credible risk and ambiguity in computerized experiments …, we measure ambiguity attitudes and vary the source of ambiguity, using either the VBB or natural events. We find that the … VBB and natural events result in a similar degree of ambiguity aversion. Further, we find that, by manipulating the number …

This paper uses laboratory experiments to study subjects’ assessment of uncertainty resulting from strategic and non-strategic decisions of other players. Nonstrategic events are defined by the colors of balls drawn from urns, whereas strategic events are defined by the action choice in Stag...
