Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
Due to betrayal aversion, people take risks less willingly when the agent of
uncertainty is another person rather than nature. Individuals in six countries
(Brazil, China, Oman, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United States) confronted
a binary-choice trust game or a risky decision offering the same payoffs and
probabilities. Risk acceptance was calibrated by asking individuals their "minimum
acceptable probability" (MAP) for securing the high payoff that would
make them willing to accept the risky rather than the sure payoff. People's
MAPs are generally higher when another person, rather than nature, determines
the outcome. This indicates betrayal aversion. (JEL C72, D81, Z13)
