TL;DR: In this article, the role played by self-confidence, modeled as beliefs about one's ability, in shaping task choices is analyzed, where fully rational agents exploit all the available information to update their beliefs using Bayes' rule, eventually learning their true type.

TL;DR: In this article, tax enforcement is an additional contextual factor affecting tax morale, one of the most important determinants of tax compliance, and the impact of tax enforcement and social environment is stronger at low quantiles of tax morale.

TL;DR: The authors survey the existing experimental literature, finding that significance and magnitude of gender differences are task specific and that gender differences appear in less than 10% of the studies and are significant but negligible in magnitude once all the data are pooled.

TL;DR: The authors performed an in-depth comparison of four incentivized risk elicitation tasks and found that the task estimates vary over and above what can be explained by the simulations, and investigated the possibility the tasks elicit different types of preferences, rather than simply providing a different measure of the same preferences.

TL;DR: The Bomb Risk Elicitation Task (BRET) as discussed by the authors ) is an intuitive procedure aimed at measuring risk attitudes, which requires minimal numeracy skills, avoids truncation of the data, allows the precise estimation of both risk aversion and risk seeking, and is not affected by the degree of loss aversion or violations of the Reduction Axiom.
