On the Interaction of Risk and Time Preferences: An Experimental Study

TLDR
In this paper, the authors investigate the possible correlation between risk aversion and time preference and show that the negative correlation is independent of the method used to elicit certainty equivalents (willingness to pay versus willingness to accept).
Abstract
Experimental studies of risk and time preference typically focus on one of the two phenomena. The goal of this paper is to investigate the (possible) correlation between subjects’ attitude to risk and their time preference. For this sake we ask 61 subjects to price a simple lottery in three different scenarios. At the first, the lottery premium is paid ‘now’. At the second, it is paid ‘later’. At the third, it is paid ‘even later‘. By comparing the certainty equivalents offered by the subjects for the three lotteries, we test how time and risk preferences are interrelated. Since the time interval between ‘now’ and ‘later’ is the same as between ‘later’ and ‘even later’, we also test the hypothesis of hyperbolic discounting. The main result is a statistically significant negative correlation between subjects’ degrees of risk aversion and their (implicit) discount factors. Moreover, we show that the negative correlation is independent of the method used to elicit certainty equivalents (willingness to pay versus willingness to accept).

Journal ArticleDOI

Eliciting risk and time preferences.

TL;DR: The main results based on exponential discounting are robust to alternative specifications such as hyperbolic discounting and have direct implications for attempts to elicit time preferences, as well as debates over the appropriate domain of the utility function when characterizing risk aversion and time consistency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estimating Time Preferences from Convex Budgets

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a new methodology for identifying time preferences, both discounting and curvature, from simple allocation decisions, finding reasonable levels of both discount and curvatures and, surprisingly, dynamically consistent time preferences.

Impatience and Uncertainty: Experimental Decisions Predict Adolescents' Field Behavior

TL;DR: The authors found that impatient children and adolescents are more likely to spend money on alcohol and cigarettes, have a higher body mass index, are less likely to save money and show worse conduct at school.

Impatience and Uncertainty: Experimental Decisions Predict Adolescents' Field Behavior

TL;DR: This paper found that impatient children and adolescents are more likely to spend money on alcohol and cigarettes, have a higher body mass index, are less likely to save money and show worse conduct at school.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discounting financial literacy: Time preferences and participation in financial education programs

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present results from a field study linking individual decisions to acquire financial information to a normally unobservable characteristic: time preferences, and show that individuals who choose to acquire personal financial information have substantially higher discount factors than individuals who do not.

Toward a positive theory of consumer choice

TL;DR: The economic theory of the consumer is a combination of positive and normative theories as discussed by the authors, which describes how consumers should choose, but it is also described how they do choose, and in certain well-defined situations many consumers act in a manner that is inconsistent with economic theory.
Journal ArticleDOI

Status quo bias in decision making

TL;DR: A series of decision-making experiments showed that individuals disproportionately stick with the status quo as mentioned in this paper, that is, doing nothing or maintaining one's current or previous decision, and that this bias is substantial in important real decisions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Measuring utility by a single-response sequential method,

TL;DR: A sequential experiment that provides, at each stage in the sequence, an estimate of the utility to the subject of some amount of a commodity, and to present a few experimental results obtained with the method.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anomalies in Intertemporal Choice: Evidence and an Interpretation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors enumerate a set of discounted utility anomalies analogous to the EU anomalies and propose a model that accounts for the anomalies, as well as other intertemporal choice phenomena incompatible with DU.
Journal ArticleDOI

Some empirical evidence on dynamic inconsistency

TL;DR: In this paper, individual discount rates for losses and gains were estimated from survey evidence and they were found to vary inversely with the size of the reward and the length of time to be waited.
