Crop Price Indemnified Loans for Farmers: A Pilot Experiment in Rural Ghana (2011, background): “…perhaps is proxied by their risk aversion) in order to test a model of adverse selection versus advantageous selection (note that we employed hypothetical survey questions to measure risk preferences rather than incentivized questions as done in, for example, Harrison, Steven, and Verschoor, 2010).”
Measuring risk attitudes among Mozambican farmers (2014, methodology): “5 Harrison et al. (2010) have recently shown that preference heterogeneity is potentially a relevant factor to account for in experimental data related to risk attitudes. Therefore, we base the next set of results on the likelihood function in equation (11), which is similar in spirit to a regime sw”

A field experiment on the impact of weather shocks and insurance on risky investment (2011, unknown): “Our experiment protocol relates to experiments on choice under uncertainty, particularly, those that elicit preferences for risk using choices over monetary lotteries (see for example Binswanger 1980; Holt and Laury 2002, 2005; Cox and Harrison 2008; Harrison et al. 2010, and several others).”
