Research on the influence of cognitive effort on decision making has grown in recent years. We argue that when cognitive effort is required, a decision maker requests a monetary premium for his effort. In our experiment, the participants were asked to bid a price for lotteries of differing complexity that required varying amounts of cognitive effort. Furthermore, some participants were given a simple calculator. We show that the increase in cognitive efforts increases the monetary premium they request, and leads to better pricing of similar lotteries.
