Risk Aversion and Incentive Effects
Charles A. Holt,Susan K. Laury +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a menu of paired lottery choices is structured so that the crossover point to the high-risk lottery can be used to infer the degree of risk aversion, and a hybrid "power/expo" utility function with increasing relative and decreasing absolute risk aversion is presented.

Risk Aversion and Incentive Effects

TL;DR: In this article, a menu of paired lottery choices is structured so that the crossover point to the high-risk lottery can be used to infer the degree of risk aversion, and a hybrid utility function with increasing relative and decreasing absolute risk aversion nicely replicates the data patterns over this range of payoffs from several dollars to several hundred dollars.

Information Cascades in the Laboratory
Lisa R. Anderson,Charles A. Holt +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, private signals are drawn from an unobserved urn and subjects make predictions in sequence and are paid if they correctly guess which of two urns was used for the draws.

Information Cascades in the Laboratory

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report an experiment in which private signals are draws from an unobserved urn, and subjects make predictions in sequence and are paid if they correctly guess which of two urns was used for the draws.

Ten Little Treasures of Game Theory and Ten Intuitive Contradictions
Jacob K. Goeree,Charles A. Holt +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report laboratory data for games that are played only once, and show that a change in the payoff structure produces a large inconsistency between theoretical predictions and observed behavior, which is consistent with simple intuition based on the interaction of payoff asymmetries and noisy introspection about others' decisions.
