Group Decision Making Under Risk: An experiment with student couples

Haoran He, Peter Martinsson and Matthias Sutter

No 519, Working Papers in Economics from University of Gothenburg, Department of Economics

Abstract: In an experiment, we study risk-taking of cohabitating student couples, finding that couples’ decisions are closer to risk-neutrality than single partners’ decisions. This finding is similar to earlier experiments with randomly assigned groups, corroborating external validity of earlier results.
