Becker, Christoph K.; Ert, Eyal; Trautmann, Stefan T.; van de Kuilen, Gijs, 2021, "Experiencing Risk: Higher-Order Risk Attitudes in Description- and Experience-Based Decisions [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/CMCIXT, heiDATA, V1
Risky decisions are often characterized by (a) imprecision about consequences and their likelihoods that can be reduced by information collection, and by (b) unavoidable background risk. This article addresses both aspects by eliciting risk attitude, prudence, and temperance in d... |
König-Kersting, Christian; Pollmann, Monique; Potters, Jan; Trautmann, Stefan T., 2020, "Good decision vs. good results: Outcome bias in the evaluation of financial agents [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/HQW24W, heiDATA, V1, UNF:6:bFbob63euOZqXO04dtgSBQ== [fileUNF]
We document outcome bias in situations where an agent makes risky financial decisions for a principal. In three experiments, we show that the principal’s eval- uations and financial rewards for the agent are strongly affected by the random outcome of the risky investment. This ha... |
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.; Wang, Xianghong; Wang, Yijie; Xu, Yilong, 2023, "High‑status individuals are held to higher ethical standards [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/6IDG5V, heiDATA, V1, UNF:6:d4StHYIKqO6F0tAqF0pfUA== [fileUNF]
Although there is evidence for the generosity of high‑status individuals, there seems to be a strong perception that the elites are selfish and contribute little to others’ welfare, and even less so than poorer people. We argue that this perception may derive from a gap between n... |

Schmidt, Robert; Trautmann, Stefan T., 2021, "Implementing (Un)fair Procedures: Containing Favoritism When Unequal Outcomes are Inevitable [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/APBF7C, heiDATA, V1, UNF:6:nKEA/QBp0/zEXIMhsTG2og== [fileUNF]
We study the selection of people when unequal payoffs are inevitable, but fair procedures are feasible, as in selecting one person from several candidates for a job. We show that allocators may be influenced by their similarity with a recipi- ent, leading to favoritism in outcome... |

Fehr, Dietmar; Rau, Hannes; Trautmann, Stefan T.; Yilong, Xu, 2022, "Inequality, fairness and social capital [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/QV5HAH, heiDATA, V1, UNF:6:0WCVNazM/mTrcTb4wo/FZQ== [fileUNF]
Inequality is often associated with negative societal consequences, but identifying a causal relationship is a daunting task. We provide evidence on the impact of unjust economic inequality on social interactions. Using a large-scale controlled experiment, we document that unjust... |
Trautmann, Stefan T.; Wakker, Peter P., 2018, "Making the Anscombe-Aumann approach to ambiguity suitable for descriptive applications [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/HNN1FW, heiDATA, V1
The Anscombe-Aumann (AA) model, originally introduced to give a normative basis to expected utility, is nowadays mostly used for another purpose: to analyze deviations from expected utility due to ambiguity (unknown probabilities). The AA model makes two ancillary assumptions tha... |

Trautmann, Stefan T.; Van de Kuilen, Gijs, 2017, "Process fairness, outcome fairness, and dynamic consistency: experimental evidence for risk and ambiguity [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/10097, heiDATA, V1
Literature on fairness preferences distinguishes between outcome fairness, concerning the final allocation of payoffs, and process fairness, concerning the expected allocation of payoffs. It is not obvious, however, whether process fairness can consistently be implemented. Once u... |
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... |
Kirchmaier, Isadora; Jens Prüfer; Trautmann, Stefan T., 2018, "Religion, moral attitudes and economic behavior [Dataset]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/PJ8CJU, heiDATA, V1, UNF:6:MuyPmqfxkF5LETTP7Zp3OA== [fileUNF]
Using data for a representative sample of the Dutch population with information about participants’ religious background, we study the association between religion and moral behavior and attitudes. We find that religious people are less accepting of unethical economic behavior (e... |
