    Room 3.3.002A
    Mohrenstraße 58
    10117 Berlin
    Zeit: 11:00 Uhr

    We analyze the effects of information sharing systems in insurance markets where firms screen consumer’s risk types before contracting takes place. It is assumed that firms instead of consumers can observe risk types and model consumer beliefs as proposed by Villeneuve (2005). Then if information is shared only partially, i.e. it is only indicated whether or not a consumer has been accepted, ...

    Abstract: We measure risk attitudes across 28 different countries in a controlled, fully incentivized experiment. The results contribute to building bridges between different strands of literature. First and foremost, we show that risk attitudes vary considerably between countries. For typical experimental stakes, risk seeking or neutrality is just as frequent as risk aversion. Looking at a cross ...

We demonstrate the methods by evaluating an element of choice in- troduced into active labour market policy in Germany by a reform in 2003. Instead of being assigned to training courses by caseworkers, unemployed job seekers receive ...
