我们使用现场实验来研究风险偏好的时间稳定性。在17个月的时间里，我们从丹麦成年人中选出了具有代表性的受试者，得出了他们的风险偏好。在此期间，我们重新审视了其中的许多主题，并重复了一项风险厌恶诱导任务。我们发现随着时间的推移，风险态度的一些变化，但我们没有发现一个普遍的趋势，风险态度增加或减少超过17个月的跨度。研究结果还表明，风险偏好是国家对个人财务状况。
We use field experiments to examine the temporal stability of risk preferences. Over a 17-month period, we elicited risk preferences from subjects chosen to be representative of the adult Danish population. During this period we revisited many of these subjects and repeated a risk aversion elicitation task. We find some variation in risk attitudes over time, but we do not detect a general tendency for risk attitudes to increase or decrease over a 17-month span. The results also suggest that risk preferences are state contingent with respect to personal finances.
