风险偏好在各种各样的经济决策中起着至关重要的作用。因此,可靠地衡量风险偏好是一项重要挑战。在本文中,我们问的问题是否在经济实验中观察到的风险偏好反映现实生活中的风险选择行为。我们调查的样本代表乌干达东部的农村地区是否追求农业战略与更高的预期利润和更大的利润方差与愿意承担风险的实验。控制其他决定因素的风险承担在农业中,我们发现,在实验中的风险选择行为是相关的风险选择行为在真实的生活中的一个领域,即购买化肥,但不是在其他领域,即经济作物的种植和更广泛的市场导向。我们的研究结果表明,经济实验可能善于捕捉现实世界中的风险选择行为,这是狭义的。
Risk preferences play a crucial role in a great variety of economic decisions. Measuring risk preferences reliably is therefore an important challenge. In this paper we ask the question whether risk preferences observed in economic experiments reflect real-life risky choice behaviour. We investigate in a sample representative for a rural region of eastern Uganda whether pursuing farming strategies with both a higher expected profit and greater variance of profits is associated with willingness to take risks in an experiment. Controlling for other determinants of risk-taking in agriculture, we find that risky choice behaviour in the experiment is correlated with risky choice behaviour in real life in one domain, i.e. the purchase of fertiliser, but not in other domains, i.e. the growing of cash crops and market-orientation more broadly. Our findings suggest that economic experiments may be good at capturing real-world risky choice behaviour that is narrowly bracketed.
