In this paper, an experiment related to how individuals face risk decisions is presented.
The experiment was based on a multi-lottery choice task, used to elicit the time stability
information of the risky decisions. We used three treatments: one hypothetical and two
real ones. We found significant differences between the first and the second treatment,
due to the fact that with real rewards the risk aversion of choices is lower than in
hypothetical ones. Then, using treatment two and three we tried to analyze the time
stability in choices, but we found that there are significant differences in the decisions.
It means that the decisions of individuals are not stable even if we find that the
differences are significantly smaller between real treatments. Finally, we show a
possible explanation for this discrepancy using the hot-hand fallacy. [-]
