Drivers of Gendered Sectoral and Occupational Segregation in Developing Countries (2020, background): “regarding the robustness of these findings as well as the origin of these differences (Akerlof 2000; Finucane et al. 2000; Booth and Nolen 2009; Bertrand 2010; Charness, Gneezy, and Imas 2013; Nelson 2015).”

Risk perceptions, preferences and management strategies: evidence from a case study using German livestock farmers (2017, background): “Nevertheless, the main challenges with this risk preference elicitation are its relative complexity leading to inconsistent choices and reduced predictive power (Charness, Gneezy, and Imas 2013).”
Cognitive (ir)reflection: New experimental evidence☆ (2016, background): “For example, it would be interesting to check whether the correlation between risk aversion and CRT holds 23See also Charness et al. (2013); Filippin and Crosetto (2014) for a discussion of the relative advantages and disadvantages of different risk elicitation protocols.”
Measuring Farmer Risk Preferences in Europe: A Systematic Review (2019, methodology): “First, due to the typical lack of incentives, it has been questioned whether these methods elicit ‘true’ attitudes towards risk, since incentive compatibility is held to be essential for a true understanding of risk preferences (Charness et al., 2013).”
Fostering Patience in the Classroom: Results from Randomized Educational Intervention (2018, background): “One such issue with the MPL task, particularly relevant in our sample of children, is that populations with lower education or cognitive developmentmay have a harder time understanding price lists (Charness, Gneezy, and Imas 2013; Angerer et al. 2015).”
A Theoretical and Experimental Appraisal of Five Risk Elicitation Methods (2013, positive): “The originality of our paper stems from adopting a between-subject design while, at the same time, gathering data from a homogeneous pool of subjects instead of relying on a meta analysis as done, for instance, by Charness et al. (2013). Moreover, this paper is the first to include an in-depth compa”
