The opposite bias, ... An example of this is the IKEA effect, ... The tendency to estimate that the likelihood of a remembered event is less than the sum of its (more ...

For example, many restaurants often sell set meals to their consumers, while simultaneously having the meals’ components sold separately.

In one example, Angrist (1989) [16] attempts to estimate the causal effect of serving in the military on earnings, using the draft lottery as an instrument. The compliers are those who were induced by the draft lottery to serve ...
Optimism bias is typically measured through two determinants of risk: absolute risk, where individuals are asked to estimate their likelihood of experiencing a negative event compared to their actual chance of experiencing a negative event (comparison against self), and comparative risk, where individuals are asked to estimate the likelihood of experiencing a negative event (their personal ...
