Kocher, Martin G.; Pahlke, Julius; Trautmann, Stefan T., 2014, "Tempus Fugit: Time Pressure in Risky Decisions [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10006, heiDATA, V2
We study the effects of time pressure on risky decisions for pure gain prospects, pure loss prospects, and mixed prospects involving both gains and losses. In two experiments we find that time pressure has no effect on risk attitudes for gains, but increases risk aversion for los... |
Noussair, Charles N.; Trautmann, Stefan T.; Kuilen, Gijs van de, 2014, "Higher Order Risk Attitudes, Demographics, and Financial Decisions [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10009, heiDATA, V4, UNF:5:aqNKYHh13jVE5RIy7gdN5w== [fileUNF]
We study the prevalence of the higher order risk attitudes of prudence and temperance in an experiment with a large demographically representative sample of participants. Under expected utility, prudence and temperance are defined by a convex first, and concave second, derivative... |

Trautmann, Stefan T.; Van de Kuilen, Gijs, 2014, "Ambiguity attitudes [Supplemental material]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10011, heiDATA, V2
The handbook chapter reviews experimental methods to measure ambiguity attitudes, as well as the recent experimental evidence regarding these attitudes. The data file contains background data that form the basis of Table 1 in the chapter. |
Trautmann, Stefan T.; Van de Kuilen, Gijs, 2015, "Prospect theory or construal level theory? Diminishing sensitivity vs. psychological distance in risky decisions [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10040, heiDATA, V2
Attitudes toward risks are central to organizational decisions. These attitudes are commonly modeled by prospect theory. Construal level theory has been proposed as an alternative theory of risky choice, accounting for psychological distance deriving from temporal, spatial and so... |
Trautmann, Stefan T.; Kocher, Martin; Pahlke, Julius, 2015, "An Experimental Study of Precautionary Bidding [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10060, heiDATA, V2, UNF:5:RnlzAG0nN9/oXQdIQt8fdA== [fileUNF]
Auctions often involve goods exhibiting a common-knowledge ex-post risk. In such auctions, precautionary bidding predicts that under expected utility, DARA bidders reduce their bids by more than the appropriate risk premium. Because the degree of riskiness of an auctioned good an... |

Pollmann, Monique; Potters, Jan; Trautmann, Stefan T., 2016, "Risk taking by agents: The role of ex-ante and ex-post accountability [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10066, heiDATA, V1, UNF:5:xAMEsbLcHACMf16SEb4syQ== [fileUNF]
We study the role of accountability in situations where an agent makes risky decisions for a principal. We observe that in the absence of accountability, agents choose less risk averse investments for the principal than investors who invest for their own account. Accountability m... |
Trautmann, Stefan T.; Brown, Martin; Vlahu, Razvan, 2016, "Understanding Bank-Run Contagion [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10074, heiDATA, V1, UNF:5:KUriC0VYM6pSi7sO2HjL/g== [fileUNF]
We study experimental coordination games to examine through which transmission channels, and under which information conditions, a panic-based depositor-run at one bank may trigger a panic-based depositor-run at another bank. We find that withdrawals at one bank trigger withdrawa... |
Roth, Benjamin; Trautmann, Stefan T.; Voskort, Andrea, 2016, "The role of personal interaction in the assessment of risk attitudes [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10082, heiDATA, V1
Many decisions under uncertainty are delegated to professionals, such as financial advisors or medical doctors, requiring them to assess the risk attitudes of their clients or patients. To gain a better under- standing of the potential factors influencing risk attitude assessment... |

Trautmann, Stefan T.; Van de Kuilen, Gijs, 2015, "Reserve Price and Competing Bids: Reference Points for Product Evaluations in Online Auctions? [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10055, heiDATA, V2, UNF:5:MSE9ibP7OksrRPc4OYvEGw== [fileUNF]
With an increasing number of products sold in online auctions, the effect of reference points on consumers’ product valuations has received much attention in the literature. Two potentially relevant factors affecting bidders’ preferences are the sellers’ reserve price and the com... |
Trautmann, Stefan T.; König-Kersting, Christian, 2016, "Ambiguity Attitudes in Decisions for Others [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10084, heiDATA, V2, UNF:5:+nuSVaYwRhcCKiFHfar1iA== [fileUNF]
We probe the pattern of ambiguity aversion for moderate-likelihood gain prospects, and ambiguity seeking for low-likelihood gain prospects, if people make decisions not for themselves but as agents for others. We confirm the pattern both with and without accountability. |
