Resumen de Prize decoys at work � New experimental evidence for asymmetric dominance effects in choices on prizes in competitions
Holger Müller, Victor Schliwa, Sebastian Lehmann
In a controlled domain replication of the well-established prize decoy experiment, we provide new evidence for the recently disputed robustness of asymmetric dominance effects (ADEs). Specifically, using real choices between � according to pretests � meaningful options that trigger tradeoff considerations, we find an ADE sized 16% which remains robust across demographic groups. Therefore, our findings indicate that the failures to replicate the ADE in previous studies might be due to variations in the experimental choice setting.
