Prospect theory (PT) is the dominant descriptive theory of decision making under risk today. For the modeling of … experiments. In the first experiment, we elicit the value and probability weighting functions both under known and unknown … probability transformations rather than utility transformations. In the second experiment, we examine the effects of an increase …

We test the effect of stake size on ambiguity attitudes. Compared to a baseline condition, we find subjects to be more ambiguity seeking for small-probability gains and large-probability losses under high stakes. They are also more ambiguity averse for large-probability gains and...
