Ranges of Randomization
用新颖的简单实验方法,研究人们在面对两个选项时是否偏好随机化,发现大多数被试在大多数问题中选择随机化,且随机化发生在“非常大”的价值范围内。
Abstract A growing literature has shown that people sometimes prefer to randomize between two options. We investigate how prevalent this behavior is in an experiment using a novel and simple method. Subjects face a list of questions in which one of the alternatives is fixed and the other varies, like a Multiple Price List, but in each row they can randomize between the options. We find that the majority of subjects chose to randomize in the majority of questions, and notably, they did so for ranges of values that were “very large.”
