Abstract

This thesis consists of six research articles. It covers determinants of financial advisors' investment decision for their clients (chapter 2); the evaluation of these decisions by clients (chapter 3); decision-making for others if uncertainty is modelled as ambiguity, rather than risk (chapter 4); the role of information disclosure about financial institutions in the absence and presence of economic linkages; a test of countercyclical risk aversion among students; and reports on new software for managing multiple installations of the experimental software oTree.
