Negative Recency, Randomization Device Choice, and Reduction of Compound LotteriesKim KaivantoLancaster University - Department of Economics Eike B. KrollOtto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg November 29, 2011 Economics Letters, May 2012, Vol. 115, No. 2, pp. 263-–267. Abstract: We report an experiment in which subjects are not indifferent between real-money lotteries implemented with randomization devices that are equivalent under the Reduction Axiom. Instead choice behavior is consistent with subjective distortion of conditional probability, and this persists in treatment conditions that control for (i) computational limitations and (ii) possible confounding by ratio bias.
