Table 3 presents a summary of the contestants' endogenous initial gambling decisions.8 We also report mean phase The CRRA utility function is specified as follows: U(W) � W1�b/(1 � b), where W is the individual's initial wealth and b is the risk-aversion parameter. are independent draws from a normal population distribution.11 If a contestant's realization of the risk-aversion parameter is less than the value that yields indifference (equality of expected utilities from gambling and not gambling), Standard deviation is abbreviated Std. dev., and confidence interval is abbreviated c.i.
