“…Some of them found evidence for the existence of an uncertainty effect (Sonsino, 2008; Simonsohn, 2009), while others provide empirical evidence that casts serious doubts on its existence, concluding that this phenomenon is less robust than GLW's results suggest (Ortmann et al , 2007; Keren and Willemsen, 2009; Rydval et al , 2009). For example, researchers have raised the possibility that GLW's findings were caused by participants’ misunderstanding of the lottery (Ortmann et al , 2007; Keren and Willemsen, 2009; Rydval et al , 2009). In order to increase the transparency of the lottery structure, Rydval et al (2009) replicate GLW experiments using a ‘physical’ format: subjects state their willingness‐to‐pay (WTP) for the opportunity of drawing a good (a gift certificate or a deferred payment form) from a closed bag containing two goods that are identical except for their face value.…”
