We examine the relationship between confidence in own absolute performance and risk attitudes using two elicitation … general underconfidence, which is significantly reduced, but not eliminated when we filter out the effects of risk attitudes …. Finally, we find that self-reported confidence correlates significantly with features of individual risk attitudes including …

They then make a decision under risk on behalf of the group using a random dictatorship …
