The Effect of Risk, Ambiguity, and Coordination on Farmers' Adaptation to Climate Change: A Framed Experiment
The risk of losses of income and productive means, due to adverse weather associated with climate change, can differ significantly among farmers sharing a productive landscape. In order to truly understand adaptation patterns to changes in climatic conditions, it is important to learn more about how farmers react to different levels of risk under measurable and unmeasurable uncertainty. Moreove...
متن کاملSorting, Incentives and Risk Preferences: Evidence from a Field Experiment
Sorting, Incentives and Risk Preferences: Evidence from a Field Experiment The, often observed, positive correlation between incentive intensity and risk has been explained in two ways: the presence of transaction costs as determinants of contracts and the sorting of risk-tolerant individuals into firms using high-intensity incentive contracts. The empirical importance of sorting is perhaps bes...
متن کاملAnchors , Endorsements , and Preferences : A Field Experiment
This study investigates how access to political endorsements affects stated preferences for an environmental public good in Switzerland. We developed a contingent valuation survey questionnaire with two valuation questions, the first formulated as a (hypothetical) policy referendum, the second an open-ended WTP question.

متن کاملSocial Exchange and Risk and Ambiguity Preferences
We present an experiment in which we test for the effect of participating in a social exchange exercise on revealed risk and ambiguity preferences. In our experiments, subjects make choices over lotteries that reveal their risk and ambiguity preferences. They then participate with a small group in an unstructured on-line chat. After the chat, they reconsider their choices in the risk and ambigu...
متن کاملRevealed Preferences for Risk and Ambiguity
We replicate the essentials of the Huettel et al. (2006) experiment on choice under uncertainty with 30 Yale undergraduates, where subjects make 200 pairwise choices between risky and ambiguous lotteries. Inferences about the independence of economic preferences for risk and ambiguity are derived from estimation of a mixed logit model, where the choice probabilities are functions of two random ...
