Behaviour under Uncertainty without Preference Reversal: A Field Experiment

The robust laboratory evidence of preference reversal rolottenies has been represented a a threat to the general validity of standard theories of decision-making under uncon ant i evidence is obtained from laboratory, that is, not real-world, lotteries with subjects vachavers sought to make decisions among such lotteries. Here, the prevalence of preference reveated is talix in a field experiment with used cars, that is, a case of real-world non-trivial non-lot ?????? payoff-uncertain-choice objects, and with subjects who registe daspotential????? No sign of preference reversal was observed.
