On the Performance of the Lottery Procedure for Controlling Risk Preferences In theory, the lottery-based induction procedure for controlling risk preferences (Roth and Malouf, 1979; and Berg, Daley,...
I report the results of nine experimental asset market sessions. The traded assets were contingent claims on two "states" with known state probabilities and identical aggregate payoffs across states....
Implementing and Testing Risk Preference Induction Mechanisms in Experimental Sealed Bid Auctions
Risk preference inducing lottery procedures can serve as valuable tools for experimental economists. However, questioning their effectiveness, experimenters may avoid them even when predictions and...
Preference Reversals and Induced Risk Preferences: Evidence for Noisy Maximization.
Berg, Joyce E, Dickhaut, John W, Rietz, Thomas A
We combine two research lines: preference reversal research (Lichtenstein and Slovic, 1971) and research on lottery-based risk preference induction (Roth and Malouf, 1979). Our results are...
Product market efficiency: The bright side of myopic, uninformed, and passive external finance
Thomas H. Noe, Michael J. Rebello, Thomas A. Rietz
We show that introducing an external capital market with information asymmetry into a product market model reduces opportunistic substitution of sub-standard goods and encourages producers to...
Here, I solve a general equilibrium, stochastic, dynamic control problem. In it, an agent who owns a productive asset decides how much of a non-storable good to consume and how much to invest in...
Implementing and Testing Risk-Preference-Induction Mechanisms in Experimental Sealed-Bid Auctions.
Risk-preference-inducing lottery procedures can serve as valuable tools for experimental economists. However, questioning their effectiveness, experimenters may avoid them even when predictions and...
Prediction market accuracy in the long run
Berg, Joyce E., Nelson, Forrest D., Rietz, Thomas A.
"Prediction markets" are designed specifically to forecast events such as elections. Though election prediction markets have been being conducted for almost twenty years, to date nearly all of the...
On the Performance of the Lottery Procedure for Controlling Risk Preferences
Berg, Joyce E., Rietz, Thomas A., Dickhaut, John W., Charles R. Plott, Vernon L. Smith
Price dynamics in political prediction markets
Majumder, Saikat Ray, Diermeier, Daniel, Rietz, Thomas A., Amaral, Luís A. Nunes
Prediction markets, in which contract prices are used to forecast future events, are increasingly applied to various domains ranging from political contests to scientific breakthroughs. However, the...
