我们报告的实验结果的经济决策与两个人口，一个健康的老年人（平均年龄82）和一个年轻的学生（平均年龄20）。我们研究信心，不确定性下的决定，愿意支付和愿意接受之间的差异和心理理论（战略思维）。我们的研究结果表明，老年人的决策行为与年轻人相似，这与经济决策随着年龄的增长而受损的观点相反。此外，一些被证明的决策行为表明，老年人比年轻人更少的偏见。(c)2004 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
We report the results of experiments on economic decisions with two populations, one of healthy elderly individuals (average age 82) and one of younger students (average age 20). We examine confidence, decisions under uncertainty, differences between willingness to pay and willingness to accept and the theory of mind (strategic thinking). Our findings indicate that the older adults' decision behavior is similar to that of young adults, contrary to the notion that economic decision making is impaired with age. Moreover, some of the demonstrated decision behaviors suggest that the elderly individuals are less biased than the younger individuals. (c) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
