Don't know why it is a word doc and that is weird, but I would bet is based on aspredicted form where Q1 is plausibly not very informative and Q2 is hypotheses

Regrade requests overall increase after the policy change, but men increase their requests more than women. The gender gap, which existed in the pre period, widens by about 90%. Men and women earn about the same points per request, so after the change men receive more grade points from regrades.

We study regrade requests at NHH where students can ask for their assignments to be reevaluated by a new grader. Prior to 2014, the new grader saw the student's original grade. After, this information was removed by law. The change ⬆️ expected value (EV) but also ⬆️ downside risk.

A choice quote from TSK 1990

They authors posit 13 possible reasons why LS's results (and other contemporaneous ones). My favorite "Experimenters were Psychologists".

Unfortunately for GP, they replicate the preference reversals. 56% of participants who chose the P bet value the $ bet more.

P bets are preferred over $ bets in choice. However, $ bets are valued more highly than P bets. 73% of participants valued the $ bet in a P-$ pair more conditional on choosing the P bet in choice.

If you're looking for a special coffee to brighten your day, try the Los Nogales roasted by Sweven Coffee in Bristol. Fruity with a bit of funkiness to it, but not over the top. I really enjoyed it!
