Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 2015.

The first two chapters of this dissertation investigate the connection between the rich theoretical environment of first price auctions and the patterns of behavior in such resulting from specific treatments in the form of social comparison feedback. In the first chapter we find that behavioral treatments we designed can be used to increase charity auction revenue. In the second chapter we find that subjects do want to compare themselves to other subjects when it is costless, though not always, and that subjects are sometimes willing to pay for the ability to compare themselves to other subjects. The third of this dissertation is an introduction to the notable research into choice in the presence of risk to date. The fourth chapter of this dissertation is a theoretical and experimental evaluation of the current state-of-the-art models of choice in the presence of risk. We find that half of our experimental subjects behave as though they have either constant relative or constant absolute risk aversion and that the behavior of nearly all subjects can be explained by a non-expected utility theory.
