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 <https://renatofrey.net/demos/>`_.
