dc.description.abstract | We present results from the first large-scale international survey
on risk preferences, conducted in 45 countries. We show substantial
cross-country differences in risk aversion, loss aversion and probability
weighting. Moreover, risk attitudes in our sample depend not only on
economic conditions, but also on cultural factors, as measured by the
Hofstede dimensions Individuality and Uncertainty Avoidance. The
presented data might also serve as an interesting starting point for
further research in cultural economics. | no_NO |
