Keywords: experiments, decisions, cascades, information, herd behavior, Bayes' rule. Abstract: This paper provides an experimental test of the Banerjee model of herd behavior. Herding does occur, but not as frequently as theory predicts. Herding is affected by the probability of receiving a signal and by its accuracy, contrary to theoretical predictions.

Keywords: experiments, decisions, information cascades, methodology, incentive effects, logit equilibrium. Abstract: The paper reports the effects of changing payoff levels on behavior in information cascade experiments. Offering a $2 payment for a correct prediction lowers logit error rates estimated with a logit model, below levels obtained with hypothetical incentives. A doubling the payoff to $4 does not produce a further reduction in the error rates. Email Contact: lrande@mail.wm.edu

Abstract: The Bernoulli paradox, introduced here, describes a lottery with an infinite expected value, for which most individuals are not willing to pay high amounts. The proposed resolution to the paradox in this "thought experiment" is that utility is nonlinear in wealth, i.e. that individuals are risk averse.

Abstract: The experiment implements a situation in which the subject does not know whether all offers are being drawn from a favorable distribution or from a less favorable one. Optimal search implies that the set of acceptable draws has a gap, due to the fact that an intermediate draw may look like a bad draw from the better distribution, whereas a lower may be a good draw from the bad distribution. This experiment provides more evidence that optimal search theory provides reasonably good predictions. Email Contact: rlo@research.u.arizona.edu, rlo@u.arizona.edu

Abstract: The false consensus effect refers to the tendency to bias estimates of another's decision toward one's own decision. This effect is eliminated in an experiment with financial incentives when information is provided about others' decisions; one's own decision receives positive weight (but is weighed less than the observed decisions of others) when the person is asked to predict the unobserved decision of another subject.

Consumption is smoothed as theory predicts when income and prices are constant over time, but fully anticipated price or income changes cause deviations from optimality. In particular, consumption is too sensitive to changing income, even in the presence of a perfect capital market. Consumption of habit-forming goods seems to be affected by "myopic loss avoidance."

Abstract: The "illusion of control" is the assertion in the literature that individuals will value lotteries more if they are involved in the generating the lotteries. This illusion is not observed in the reported experiment; involvement lowers the value of the gamble.

utility, rank-dependent utility, dynamic choice, discounting, non-linear
probability weighting. Abstract: A nonlinear payoff proportion weighting
function is introduced to explain anomalies in dynamic choice, in much
the same way as probability weighting functions may explain lottery choice
behavior. The experiments reported in this paper are used to assess the
stability of nonlinear probability weighting and payoff proportion weighting
functions. One interesting result is that the estimated probability weighting
functions do not have the predicted "inverted S" shape, but are strictly
concave. Email Contact: sopher@econ.rutgers.edu

Abstract: The experiment is motivated by the need to measure a reference level in a financial market, in order to apply the predictions of prospect theory (risk seeking in losses and risk averse in gains from some reference point). The stock price series was generated by a random walk with a positive drift, and the reference level seemed to be the previous peak price. Email Contact: gneezy@econ.haifa.ac.il

Abstract: Subjects face pairs of lotteries, a "P bet" with a high probability of a reasonable gain, and a "$ bet" with a lower probably of a high monetary reward. The most common pattern of anomalous behavior is for a subject to choose the P bet in a binary choice setting, but to place a higher selling price on the $bet, a pattern that does not diminish when financial incentives are used.

The objective of the experiment is to fit expected and non-expected utility functions and to determine whether prior experience causes noise in decision making to decline. Such a decline is observed for some subjects, but not for others, which makes it difficult to identify the best model for those people. Email Contact: jdh1@york.ac.uk

Keywords: experiments, decisions, risk aversion, absolute risk aversion, relative risk aversion. Abstract: Subjects made portfolio choices between safe and risky assets, and under conditions of changing experiment income and outside real wealth. Portfolio choices provide evidence of decreasing absolute risk aversion, but the increasing relative risk aversion hypothesis is rejected. Decisions were more sensitive to laboratory wealth than to outside personal wealth, which had little effect.

Abstract: Elicitation of hypothetical bids is done in conjunction with obtaining actual bids in a field setting, in order to learn how to "calibrate" hypothetical bids in other contexts. The extent of the needed calibration turns out to be sensitive to factors such as the presence of other goods in the auction, i.e. calibration is context specific.

Abstract: A second price auction for sports cards is used to elicit valuations under three incentive structures: real, hypothetical, and hypothetical-with-warnings about overstating values. The cheap talk warning eliminated hypothetical bias in non-professional subjects, but the bids of card dealers decline sharply with real incentives relative to the cheap-talk (hypothetical incentives) treatment.

Abstract: This paper lets subjects face the same lottery choice decisions twice, in order to test stochastic choice models based on 1) fixed-epsilon error probability (Harless-Camerer), 2) probit probabilistic choice (Hey-Orme), and 3) random effects with randomly drawn preference parameters from a population distribution. The authors conclude that the fixed-epsilon model performs poorly, the probit model predicts more violations of dominance than are observed, and the random preference model fails to account for the violations that are observed.
