jru-robustness

separate

Use when a Journal of Risk and Uncertainty (JRU) result may be sensitive to specification, incentive frame, sample, or inference. Organizes robustness by the threat to the risk/uncertainty parameter; it does not invent evidence or citations.

When to use

• Functional-form dependence of risk parameters
• Utility-weighting confounds
• Elicitation-device artifacts
• Random-incentive or isolation failures
• Stake or hypothetical-bias sensitivity
• Subject heterogeneity masked by pooling
• Multiple comparisons across menus or treatments
• Optimistic inference or clustering issues

When not to use

• Inventing evidence or citations
• Specification search without pre-commitment
• Reporting only the functional form with the cleanest number
• Treating EU-only robustness as sufficient for non-EU claims
• Pooling heterogeneous subjects without addressing heterogeneity
• Reporting significant results from many menus without correction
