Digit ratios (2D:4D) as predictors of risky decision making for both sexes (2011, methodology): “Decision 50-50 was first used by Eckel and Grossman (2002, 2008) and Decision 75-25 and Decision 25-75 are modifications to explore behavior across other domains of the probability space.”
A Reconsideration of Gender Differences in Risk Attitudes (2016, neutral): “…and widely used methods: the Investment Game, introduced by Gneezy and Potters (1997) and refined by Charness and Gneezy (2010), an Ordered Lottery Selection task proposed by Eckel and Grossman (2002, 2008b), and the Holt and Laury (2002) task, the most cited and replicated risk elicitation task.”
Risk Loving after the Storm: A Bayesian-Network Study of Hurricane-Katrina Evacuees (2009, background): “…that women generally exhibit higher risk-aversion than men, although the extent of this gender effect may depend on other design variables (c.f.Eckel and Grossman, 2002, 2008a,b,c; Holt and Laury, 2002; Byrnes et al., 1999; Jianakopolos and Bernasek, 1998; Levin et al., 1988; Levy et al.,…”

CEO Gender, Ethical Leadership, and Accounting Conservatism (2015, background): “In addition, females perceive risks to be greater, engage in less risky behavior, and choose alternatives that involve less risk (Barsky et al. 1997; Eckel and Grossman 2008; Jianakoplos and Bernasek 2007; Schubert et al. 1999).”
Gender differences in the contribution patterns of equity-crowdfunding investors (2017, neutral): “The experimental studies use probability lotteries and suggest that women are more risk averse than men (Eckel and Grossman 2008; Holt and Laury 2002; Byrnes et al. 1999).”
Joint measurement of risk aversion, prudence, and temperance (2014, neutral): “Eckel and Grossman (2008) and Croson and Gneezy (2009) consider it a robust finding that women are more risk-averse than men.”
Thar SHE Blows? Gender, Competition, and Bubbles in Experimental Asset Markets† (2015, background): “Croson and Gneezy (2009) and Eckel and Grossman (2008c) survey risk-aversion experiments and conclude that women are more risk averse than men in most tasks and most populations.”
Gender Differences in Preferences (2009, background): “However, these studies differ in their characterization of responder behavior (Eckel and Grossman 2008a).”
The “bomb” risk elicitation task (2013, neutral): “Performing a real effort task prior to the awarding of the 2.5 euro, as done by Eckel and Grossman (2008a), would probably have strengthened the results, but we wanted to reduce to a minimum the modifications compared to the Baseline treatment.”
