本文同时测量的时间偏好率和风险规避系数，以及调查的相互依赖性的四种成瘾行为：吸烟，饮酒，弹球（一种流行的日本形式的弹球赌博），和赛马投注之间的样本的日本人口。我们得出两个主要结论。首先，四种成瘾行为之间存在着显著的相互依赖性，特别是吸烟和饮酒之间以及弹球盘赌博和赌马之间。其次，我们得出结论，时间偏好率越高，风险规避系数越低，个人越有可能吸烟，经常喝酒，赌博弹球和马匹。(C)2009爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
This paper simultaneously measures the rate of time preference and the coefficient of risk aversion, as well as investigates the interdependencies of four addictive behaviours: smoking, drinking, pachinko (a popular Japanese form of pinball gambling), and horse betting among a sample of the Japanese population. We reach two main conclusions. First, there are significant interdependencies among the four addictive behaviours, in particular between smoking and drinking and between gambling on pachinko and the horses. Second, we conclude that the higher the time preference rate and the lower the risk aversion coefficient becomes, the more likely individuals smoke, drink frequently, and gamble on pachinko and the horses.
