Men, Women and Risk Aversion: Experimental Evidence (2008, neutral): “Harrison et al. (2005) replicate their finding correcting for order effects and find no significant sex difference.”
When and why? A critical survey on coordination failure in the laboratory (2007, positive): “…analyzing stag-hunt games (e.g., the laudable but problematic early attempts by CDFR 1990, 1992 to control for risk preferences through the Roth – Malouf procedure in the stag hunt game) and demonstrated by a recent study by Holt and Laury (2002; see also Harrison et al., 2005; Holt & Laury, 2005).”
A Reconsideration of Gender Differences in Risk Attitudes (2016, positive): “The list of contributions in which the behavior of males and females does not differ significantly is longer, starting with the first replication of the original task (Harrison et al., 2005).”
Contract farming and smallholder incentives to produce high quality: experimental evidence from the Vietnamese dairy sector (2013, methodology): “Hence, the choice task was identical in each of the five rounds, ensuring that no treatment ordering effects confound the analysis (Harrison et al., 2005).”
Attitudes toward private and collective risk in individual and strategic choice situations (2008, background): “(10)These findings stand against those of Harrison et al. (2005b), who do not detect any systematic difference between social risk attitudes and individual risk attitudes.”
A large-scale test of the effects of time discounting, risk aversion, loss aversion, and present bias on household adoption of energy-efficient technologies (2019, background): “Laibson, 1997, Loewenstein and Prelec, 1992, or Thaler, 1991) suggest that individuals tend to systematically overvalue the present compared to the future. As argued by O'Donoghue and Rabin (1999), this so-called present bias may cause naïve individuals to procrastinate when costs are immediate.”
Measuring Individual Risk Attitudes in the Lab: Task or Ask? An Empirical Comparison (2015, positive): “Once that was completed, subjects were given the Holt and Laury (2002) lottery choice task and, eventually, the questions about individual risk-attitudes advanced by Dohmen et al.”
