Ambiguity preferences are important to explain human decision-making in many areas in economics and finance. To measure individual ambiguity preferences, the experimental economics literature advocates using incentivized laboratory experiments. Yet, laboratory experiments are costly, time-consuming and require substantial administrative effort.

This toolkit may have wide applications, including end-of-session lab questionnaires, large scale surveys and financial client assessments.
