 Abstract:

 This paper tests the internal consistency of time trade-off utilities.
We find significant violations of consistency in  the direction
predicted by loss aversion. The violations disappear for higher gauge
durations. We show that loss  aversion can also explain that for short
gauge durations time trade-off utilities exceed standard gamble
utilities. Our results suggest that time trade-off measurements that use
relatively short gauge durations, like the widely  used EuroQol
algorithm (Dolan 1997), are affected by loss aversion and lead to
utilities that are too high.
