Revealed Preference Tests for Linear Probability

Abstract

In this talk, I will discuss ongoing work about how to measure coherence to common models of risk preferences when choices are made from budgets that trade-off between the size of a prize and the probability of receiving that prize. I will show how to calculate Afriat Indices and Houtman-Maks Indices for probability weighting, expected utility, and risk-averse expected utility.  I will then apply these theoretical results to the datasets from Breig & Feldman (2022) and Crosetto & Fillipin (2013) to demonstrate how well common models explain choices.
