Here's what caught my eye in research over the past week:
- Habla et al. (open access) ask research participants in Sweden how they would like self‐driving cars to be programmed for dilemma situations (essentially choosing between harming pedestrians or passengers), and find that at the margin, the average respondent values the lives of passengers and pedestrians equally when both groups are homogeneous and no group is to blame for the dilemma, but that they value the lives of passengers more when the pedestrians violate a social norm, and less when the pedestrians are children
- Brown et al. (with ungated earlier version here) conduct a new meta-analysis of 607 loss aversion estimates, finding that people are loss averse on average, but somewhat less loss averse than assumed in previous literature (the debate continues, see here and here for more)
- Franceschi et al. (open access) provide a systematic review of the literature on the determinants of the value of football (soccer) players
