Eliciting Risk Preferences Using Choice Lists
We study the e ect of embedding pairwise choices between lotteries within a choice list on measured risk attitude. Using an experiment with online workers, we nd that subjects choose the risky lottery rather than a sure payment signi cantly more often when responding to a choice list. This behavior can be rationalized by the interaction between non-expected utility and the random incentive syst...
متن کاملGoal-Induced Risk Taking in Strategy Choice
We test whether specific, challenging goals increase risk taking. We propose that goals serve as reference points, creating a region of perceived losses for outcomes below a goal (Kahneman & Tversky, 1979; Tversky & Kahneman, 1992).

The recent increase in the frequency and impact of natural disasters1 highlights the need to provide the public with accurate information concerning disaster prevalence. Most approaches to this problem assume that providing summaries of the nature and scale of disasters will lead people to reduce their exposure to risk2. Herewe present experimental evidence that such ex post ‘news reports’ of d...
