Decisions from Description and Experience¶
Short Description The SOEP-IS Risk Module consists of two incentive-compatible behavioral risk taking tasks involving described and experienced risk and extends the GSOEP by providing an assessment of individual differences that may predict real-world outcomes such as employment, financial, and health decisions that are partly guided by individuals’ risk tendencies.
Experimental Details: An online demonstration of the risk taking tasks in German can be found on Renato Frey’s personal website.
