OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Estimating Preference Parameters from Strictly Concave Budget Restrictions (with Holger Gerhardt)
We propose a novel experimental method to elicit preference parameters: choices subject to strictly concave budget restrictions. We aim to improve upon the informational content of commonly used methods such as choices subject to linear budget restrictions in two ways: (i) by reducing the number of corner allocations and (ii) by enlarging the range of estimable parameter values. An online study on risk and time preferences confirms the benefits of our method. Corner allocations are drastically reduced, which facilitates estimation on the individual level, and a richer distribution of preference parameters compared to using linear budget restrictions is elicited.
