Abstract
Economic Behavior in Entrepreneurs: An Experimental Approach to
Risk Attitudes and Overconfidence
By Daniel J. Lee
Entrepreneurial activity is relevant to multiple branches of economics. Given the current disputes about entrepreneurial behavior, we attempt to profile the entrepreneur, and determine a more appropriate form for modeling choice under risk. In doing so the Emory Research Group conducted an experiment and calculated parameters regarding attitudes towards risk and self-reported psychological makeup. Preliminary results suggest that entrepreneurs are overconfident and risk seeking, and that Prospect Theory is an appropriate model for determining these preferences.
