A Two-Ball Ellsberg Paradox

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2023
We introduce a novel experimental framework, the two-ball Ellsberg gamble, which allows us to explore a wider range of possible drivers of ambiguity attitudes than usually considered by the literature. In an incentivized experiment on a representative sample from the US with 708 participants, we find that 55% of the subjects prefer avoiding ambiguity ...
