我们获得了丰富的措施，越南农民的样本的风险偏好，并重新审视风险偏好和经济福祉之间的联系。我们的农民并不是特别厌恶风险，而是平均风险中性，因此比典型的西方受试者群体更能承受风险。这概括了最近的研究结果表明，在一般人口样本中，较贫穷国家的学生比较富裕国家的学生更能承受风险。此外，在我们的样本中，风险厌恶与收入呈负相关，但与财富无关。这也让人怀疑高水平的风险规避导致未能采用新技术，我们讨论。
We obtain rich measures of the risk preferences of a sample of Vietnamese farmers, and revisit the link between risk preferences and economic well-being. Far from being particularly risk averse, our farmers are on average risk neutral and, thus, more risk tolerant than typical Western subject populations. This generalises recent findings indicating that students in poorer countries are more risk tolerant than students in richer countries to a general population sample. Risk aversion is, furthermore, negatively correlated with income within our sample, but does not correlate with wealth. This also casts doubt on high levels of risk aversion causing failure to adopt new technologies, which we discuss.
