Abstract

In this note we describe the S-GG risk-elicitation task. This multiple-lottery allows for obtaining two factors describing a subject’s risk attitude with just four choices by this same subject. We describe the implementation of the task and also provide free zTree programs (in English and Spanish) to facilitate its integration into an experimental design. Some frequently asked questions highlighting the advantages and limitations of this task are also provided.
