衡量时间和风险偏好并将其与经济行为联系起来是行为经济学的重要课题。本文提出了一种同时度量时间偏好率和风险规避系数的新方法。分析个人层面的偏好参数和吸烟之间的关系,我们得出结论,目前吸烟者更不耐烦和风险倾向于比不吸烟者。重度吸烟者是最没有耐心和风险倾向的,而戒烟者是最有耐心和风险厌恶的。在不吸烟者中,既没有发现年龄相关的差异,也没有发现性别相关的差异。另一方面,吸烟者的风险和时间偏好根据年龄和性别有显着差异。
Measuring time and risk preferences and relating them to economic behaviors are important topics in behavioral economics. We developed a new method to simultaneously measure the rate of time preference and the coefficient of risk aversion. Analyzing the individual-level relationships between preference parameters and cigarette smoking, we conclude that current smokers are more impatient and risk-prone than nonsmokers. Heavy smokers are the most impatient and risk-prone, whereas ex-smokers are the most patient and risk-averse. Among nonsmokers, neither age-related nor gender-related differences were found. On the other hand, risk and time preferences are significantly different according to age and gender for smokers.
