aAll amounts are converted to US Dollars (using average exchange rates for 2013). γ denotes the coefficient of risk aversion, and ξ captures the measurement noise. The p-values reported are for γ, ξ , and for both parameters being the same in the TP and TD treatments. Inference for ξ is based on a parametrization in which log(ξ) = μ 0 + μ 1 δ TD, where δ TD is a dummy indicator for a time delay session, and the reported p-value is for the restriction μ 1 = 0. The joint tests are likelihood ratio tests. Standard errors are provided in parentheses
