This paper investigates attitude towards partial ambiguity. In a laboratory setting, we study three symmetric variants of the ambiguous urn in Ellsberg's 2-urn paradox by varying the possible compositions of red and black cards in a 100-card deck. Subjects value betting on a deck with a smaller...

We extend Ellsberg's two-urn paradox and propose three symmetric forms of partial ambiguity by limiting the possible compositions in a deck of 100 red and black cards in three ways. Interval ambiguity involves a symmetric range of 50-n to 50 n red cards. Complementarily, disjoint ambiguity...

We investigate whether corporate tax avoidance is affected by a firm's relationship with its customers. We find a positive association between a firm's tax avoidance and its customers' relationship-specific investments, demonstrating that customers value the cash flow benefits generated by a...

In the studies of decision making under risk and time, an increasingly important question is whether the utility representations should be the same for both circumstances. This study aims to test the separation between risk preference and time preference in a controlled laboratory setting, where...

We propose a nonparametric revealed preference test to identify heterogeneity in risk preference. Our method is simple and applicable to choice environments with revealed preference features. We further develop two measures of preference heterogeneity at both the individual and group levels, and...

Two distinct interpretations of ambiguity attitudes have been proposed, namely, weighting the multiple priors pessimistically and exhibiting preference over different sources of uncertainty. This study examines the links among attitudes towards three sources of uncertainty including ambiguity...
